I am not sure exactly about IMS DC, but in general, anything that you can run in batch should be able to run in TSO.

1. In batch, you have DD statements; in TSO, use ALLOC commands to make those same DD statements available to your TSO id.

2. in batch, PGM=somename,PARM=' ' ; in TSO, use the TSO CALL command or the rexx ADDRESS TSO 'ATTACH somename' instruction.

very ... in general ... icon_biggrin.gif ( what about APF issues )

the TS used a very generic term
until the gentleman clarifies what he needs anything we can say could be wrong

this kind of question always raises the doubt if it is simple curiosity
or what kind of sick business need is behind it

but until we know more, nothing else to say

Hi,

Let me explain in details. In order to work for IMS DC, we should have a dedicated IMS DC regions. If you don't have any regions, we can invoke the DC region directly from our TSO or any other utilities.

In some places, i have seen IMS DC region has been invoked from a TSO regions using CLIST.

Please clarify my doubt if possible

Thanks,
Sunil.

please, please, clarify what You mean by invoke....
remember You are talking about DATA COMMUNICATION
and what You intend to do ...

or You mean access, using REXX for example, some database managed by the IMS control region ???
