Complex Actions

A series of action clauses may be sufficient to do all the processing you need in an action, but you can use TSOCMD to dispatch an OPS/REXX program of arbitrary complexity. Since the program will run in a server subtask, the SSM engine is free to proceed with another action before the program completes. CLIST and REXX action clauses also dispatch the called program on a server subtask. RULE and EVRULE run an AOF request rule. The rule will run to conclusion before your action regains control, so long-running rules should be avoided.
