But for interactive TSO, it lacks the "ADDRESS TSO" capability of running TSO commands (such as DELETE DSN). There is also no ADDRESS ISPEXEC or ADDRESS ISREDIT for ISPF services. And, lastly, it also lacks the ADDRESS SYSCALL environment for UNIX services. But for UNIX services, there may well be some Java library which could be used instead. I'll need to consider the possibility of looking at NetREXX again.
