Now that we've been on z/OS for a few weeks I feel to need to ask a question that has
annoyed me since I started working on z/OS two years ago. Instream datasets are good.
Why are they not supported inside of procs? Is there a technical reason, or is it just
"because"? We use procs for almost all of our production jobs, with many steps
that could take advantage of instream datasets if not for this restriction.
Thanks,
Frank
My WAG would be a combination of the two. There might have been a good
technical reason why not and to change the rules 40+ years after the
fact might break working processes in unexpected ways.
