SOE code can now bend itself into strange new shapes. The addition of new IF/THEN/ELSE and DO/END structures takes it from being a mere utility to become a whole new z/OS Workload Automation Programming Language. With the ability to react to return codes of other SOE statements, and even previous steps in the job, the SOE language becomes a lot more flexible and agile. Becoming more mindful of its environment, it can now: create variables with file, step and return code information extract database plan objects into new object variables talk to the outside world with the new SENDMAIL and SENDMSG functions talk to z/OS with the new CONSOLE command If that's not enough it has new ways to talk to jobs in the current plan, and new ways to ease itself into your flexible workload.
