I'm trying to find a source to research to create some simple REXX scripts that interface with MQSC commands on Z/OS. Having issues...
Can anyone here point me to some simple examples? |

Interface how?
How does this differ from using MQSC commands via CSQUTIL?

CSQUTIL, from my limited knowledge of CSQUTIL, requires to you interface via jcl doesn't it? I've only seen CSQUTIL embedded with JCL.
I don't want jcl jobs to be sumitted. I'm wanting to execute some simple REXX scripts from TSO opt. 6 just like you would execute the CSQOREXX script to access the MQ panels. |

Quite true.
I've never had any use for this kind of scripting; you either want a snapshot of the estate (in which case the supplied ISPF panels are fine) or you want a repeatable activity (even if it's repeated on an ad-hoc basis!) in which case I write JCL.
But if everyone agreed with me, they'd be no call for the support pac!

I googled. MA19 was the first IBM hit. I gave up after that.

For those unaware, REXX is a very powerful programming language. REXX runs on Windoze, UNIX, z/OS, z/VM - pretty much all platforms. REXX also includes facilities (hooks) into the o/s where it is running to do admin tasks.

MA95 is the supportpac required for REXX - MQ. You can then use the MQ API, or issue commands to MQ.
Although there is CSQUTIL and the CSQOREXX panels i do use MA95 / REXX for some utility stuff and scripting, e.g. for some IVP stuff, like sending a message and reading the answer and so on.
Check the documentation that comes with MA95. If you still need some little rexx samples, please let me know.

There is now support for running CSQUTIL command interface from the CSQOREXX ISPF panels without the need to submit JCL.
This includes support for command lines longer than 80 characters without needing continuation characters.
