Yup - since you're interested in Admin and control tasks I can see a pattern like this working for you Jack.

My problems tend to be in the App Dev area. Thins like I need to do X (create a spreadsheet, send and email, query a web service, whatever) that is well suited c/o available libraries to being done in PHP/Python/Node/whatever and want to just invoke it on request from the RPG or CL that I'm running. Ideally I want to do that in a manner as close to simply calling a Service Program procedure as I can.

Scott's OA handler will help but I need to look into the plumbing and see how he and others are doing the bridge into the PASE environment.

I must revisit UNIXCMD - I haven't looked at it since Scott built the OA

Jon, I'm not sure that there *isn't* a better way ... I'm just showing a
design pattern that I use over and over.
It works nicely because whatever I want to pass back from the .py script is
read into CL &VARs.
Generally, the only thing the CL needs is to know what happened. In my
practice, the CL is typically just a launcher in the job scheduler.
Since Python can call CL commands and twiddle Db2, the work ends up being
done in Python script itself.
And as you can see from my example, I redirect stdout/stderr output to log
files in the IFS that can be examined later.
