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
U of Ark.


/* Define the OS file, and then invoke the editor */
'FILEDEF SYSIN DISK OSEDIT FILE' diskmode 'DSN' dsname
If rc^=0 then Exit rc
'XEDIT OSEDIT FILE'
'FILEDEF SYSIN CLEAR'
Exit
