tso -t tso_command

• Specify the -t option to run a command through the TSO/E service routine. The command output is written to stdout. If you specify a relative pathname, the command looks for the file in your current directory.
  Restrictions: TSO/E has some restrictions on the type of commands that can be run using the TSO/E service routine (mini-TSO environment). In summary, you cannot run the following commands in this environment:

  • Commands that run authorized
  • FIB (foreground initiated background) commands
  • Other commands that require the TSO/E task structure, i.e., interactive commands such as oedit, where interactive means that the user can interact with the command processing while issuing additional terminal input (subcommands, function keys). For example, once the oedit command is entered, the user can enter additional subcommands to add more lines and then quit or exit the command.

  For a full description of the restrictions, see the information on IKJTSOEV in z/OS TSO/E Programming Guide.
• Specify the -o option to run a TSO command as if it had been entered on the OMVS command line and run using the TSO subcommand or function key. If you use a relative pathname, the command looks for the file in the working directory of your TSO/E session, which is typically your home directory.
