Hello, I have been dealing with some strange behaviour.
I am trying to run a job that calls BPXBATCH do execute a Unix script. The Unix script tries to copy the file from the Unix environment to a MVS dataset. I have tried these two approaches. The filename is variable. 1) cp -P "RECFM=FB,SPACE=(CYL,(1,1)),LRECL=96,BLKSIZE=0" $myfilevar.ebcdic "//'PSTR.TEMP'" 2) tso -t "OGET '$myfilevar.ebcdic' 'PSTR.TEMP'" Both approaches work fine when interactively I type them on a telnet session or on a TSO OMVS session, BUT FAIL when I call the script containing these commands using BPXBATCH on a JOB: JCL: //XXXXXXX JOB YYYYYY,TIME=1 //COPY EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,REGION=8M,COND=(0,NE) //STDIN DD SYSOUT=* //STDOUT DD SYSOUT=* //STDPARM DD * sh /spb/bin/Copy.sh //* SYSOUT: OGET '/spb/tmp/ABMA014_57D18317.33555264.D.ebcdic' 'PSTR.TEMP' IKJ56225I DATA SET PSTR.TEMP ALREADY IN USE, TRY LATER+ IKJ56225I DATA SET IS ALLOCATED TO ANOTHER JOB OR USER RC(12) Why the dataset appears to be "in use" ?? It DOES NOT EVEN exists! I get this message whenever my script uses 'cp' or 'oget'...
