The VSE Script Server provides access to z/VSE resources using the Java based connector.

Java based connectors consist of two parts:

• the VSE connector client on a Java-capable platform and
• the VSE Connector Server running in a z/VSE partition with access to VSAM, Librarian, VSE/POWER, ICCF, etc.

You don't need to write Java programs to use the VSE Script Server and access z/VSE resources. Instead you may use VSE scripts. VSE scripts are written in a script language. Script statements such as if, while, for and script commands to access z/VSE resources may be included.

Any kind of program, e.g. an office program, Java or non-Java program, can invoke a VSE script.

Here is more information on the VSE Script Server.

In z/VSE 5.1 we enhanced the VSE Script server with

• additional code page tools for use with double-byte character set (DBCS) data:  binary to string, string to binary, save file binary, read file binary.
• additional VSE/POWER built-in functions: binary Get function, binary Put function 
• new Librarian functions: listLibraries, listSubLibs, listMembers, createSubLib, deleteSubLib, copyMember, moveMember, deleteMember, renameMember, downloadMember, uploadMemeber, getMemberFromPowerQueue, putMemberToPowerQueue
