You can send control characters but I am not aware of any key that with force
a PA/PF action. VTAM/TCAM/whatever TSO does not poll - it waits for the
attention.

Your business case seems to be dynamically issuing a TEST subcommand and
proceeding, i.e., the program itself running under TEST wants to issue
commands and continue. Why can't you use a CLIST wrapper which does it? You
can have a known breakpoint at .IEFBR14 linked into you load module and have
your program write a file / create a CLIST variable and call .IEFBR14 and your
container can extract and issue the commands and then do a Go.
