- I'm not sure it can be done. The TSO and CMS versions are separate products.

- One way might be to use the FILEDEF command to re-direct a 'fn ft fm'
- to a dsn. Below is relevant portion of exec from Dave Merrifield from

- /* Define the OS file, and then invoke the editor */

- 'XEDIT OSEDIT FILE'
- 'FILEDEF SYSIN CLEAR'
- Exit
