I don't know how to call TMS via ISPEXEC, but there is a TSO command that
you can invoke from PDF 3.4 to display the TMC record of the corresponding
dataset. It's called "TMS" and you'll find it in the PDFTools package on
my Web page.

The TMS command is an assembler program that uses BDAM to read the TMC and
formats the output pretty much like the CA1 TSO command; the result is
displayed using BRIF. You need to specify the dsname of the TMC in a SETC
statement at the beginning of the source before you assemble it.

AFAIK, TMS was last used in a CA1 5.0 environment. If you run a more
recent release, it may no longer work.

Hope this helps.

I was unable to determine the Version number but doesn't seem to be 5.0 .
TMMTMREC is no longer in the CAI.MACLIB. I found an equivalent, TMRECORD, but
has too many changes. I decided to abandon the attempt. Thanks Gilbert
Saint-flour and Michael Theys for you responses.
