How to include CBVM DECODE DBD(HALDB) into a REXX procedure for not running a batch job?

Resolution

In REXX simply allocate the necessary DD statements ICBCTRL, SRCLIB, DBDLIB and make your REXX write the control statement "DECODE DBD(HALDB)" in ICBCTRL DD, then just ADDRESS TSO "CALL 'imstoolsHLQ.CIMTLOAD(ITKICB)'" and it will throw the source code into SRCLIB DD.

Note: make sure the SRCLIB is a sequential dataset and not PDS.
