Allow GDKUTIL input to be provided by a parm when called by a program

Might GDKUTIL accept a parameter when called by a program? Where the first three words point to areas that have the same information as those three DD statements provide?

EG:

WORD1 -> UPLOAD PROVIDER(S3CLOUD) CONVERT

WORD2-> /johnh-21st-test-bucket/JHH60-APAR-PS-001-BACH

WORD3-> HLQ.APAR.PS

The next challenge would be the SYSPRINT. Could a 4th word be added to the parameter on the call where that word points to a buffer where messages can be sent rather being PUT to those files.

WORD4-> buffer to be used for messages

And finally SYSOUT seems like it’s used in logging and is optional so maybe a word5 option?

    .This functionality can be accomplished by the DFSMSdfp CDA APIs being externalized in z/OS 3.1 (supported on z/OS 2.4 and 2.5 as well)/
