OMVS TSOCMD does *not* honor IKJTABLS

IKJTABLS is used for the TSO environment and one would expect it to be honored with the tsocmd under OMVS but it is not. This was discovered when using tsocmd parmlib and it failed but the parmlib command worked under TSO. Added parmlib to the authcmd section of IKJTSOxx and then tsocmd worked under OMVS.

    Move this to backlog, so we can get this support in future release.

    Thank you very much for the reply. I have been able to recreate the problem now.
    tsocmd is REXX code which runs a TSO/E command from the shell using the TSO/E TMP (IKJEFT01). I reviewed the code and can't find "what need to be done" with the code to provide this "OMVS TSOCMD honors IKJTABLS" feature. We will do more investigation if tsocmd could support this or other component need to change. Thanks.

    Did you have PARMLIB defined in the IKJTABLS load module? That will allow it to work under TSO but not under OMVS.

    Hello,
    Could you please provide more details on this RFE? I tried to recreate the scenario: delete parmlib command from IKJTSOxx, parmlib command can't work under both TSO and OMVS. If adding parmlib back to IKJTSOxx authcmd section, parmlib can work under both TSO and omvs tso/tsocmd.

    Thanks.
