Execution Considerations for API Rules

The processing section of an API rule executes in the address space of the application that generated the event. Therefore, any complex logic or interactive logic that may cause a wait to occur should be done in an OPS/REXX program that gets scheduled to an OSF TSO server on behalf of the API rule. For a discussion of dispatching OPS/REXX programs to OSF TSO servers, see the chapter “Code and Debug AOF Rules.”

The AOF execution limits apply to the processing section of a rule that responds to a screen event.
