Use of ALTLIB in OPS/MVS Event Management and Automation

Issue/Introduction

We tried to adapt OPSVLBDF (ISPF interface) from CCLXSAMP by adding ALTLIB commands like this to avoid allocating CCLXCLS0 and CCLXEXEC in the TSO LOGON procedure:
 

"ALTLIB ACTIVATE APPLICATION(CLIST) DA('"prefix".CCLXCLS0'" ,")"
"ALTLIB ACTIVATE APPLICATION(EXEC) DA('"prefix".CCLXEXEC')"

When we use ISPF interface, we get, for example, the message "Cannot find program ASOTEAPI in SYSEXEC " on option 2.6 (Table Edit).

Is it possible to allocate OPS/MVS datasets using ALTLIB EXEC/CLIST instead of allocating them in the TSO logon procedure ?

Environment

OPS/MVS

Resolution

No, it is not possible to use ALTLIB for execs for OPS/REXX programs. We do not support ALTLIB for the SYSEXEC allocation.
