Executing NetView Commands from a TSO REXX Program

This section describes how to execute NetView commands from a TSO REXX program and details of the REXX function INGRCRPC.

Remote Procedure Call from TSO to the SA NetView Agent
Any REXX program that runs under TSO can use the function INGRCRPC to send a NetView command or an MVS command to the local SA NetView Agent and to wait for the command execution. The response of the command will be returned into a REXX stem.
Function INGRCRPC
The REXX function INGRCRPC provides a remote procedure call (RPC) from TSO address space to the SA NetView Agent address space on the same z/OS system. The purpose is to execute a standard command (such as a NetView or MVS command) or a self-written REXX program and to route back the output to the calling TSO program.
