On successful completion of this course, the student, with the aid of the appropriate reference materials, should be able to:

1. Describe the TSO environment, and describe the distinctions between TSO commands and REXX instructions
2. Write REXX EXECs to accomplish useful functions
3. Use TSO commands to work with datasets, either in native mode or in EXECs
4. Use REXX instructions to work with records in files
5. Use subroutines as a coding technique for EXECs
6. Use TSO and EXECs to run programs in the Foreground or the Background (batch)
7. Run EXEC’s in the batch, in TSO/E-integrated address spaces or non-TSO/E-integrated address spaces
8. Use TSO commands to send and receive datasets between users
9. Use the REXX compiler, if it is available
10. Use the level 2 REXX constructs, if they are available.
