Well, I'm confused. The manual (TSO/E User's Guide) does seem to be pretty consistent in using the word "statement" to refer essentially to a line (whether continued or not) of JCL - the EXEC statement, the JOB statement, the SYSIN DD statement, the SYSTSIN DD statement etc. Are they not using their own terminology correctly?
On the other hand, I have successfully run batch jobs using a concatenated SYSTSIN DD. And, in fact, member EDGJVTC3 of SYS1.PARMLIB (z/OS 1.4) contains this last step: //STEP06 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01 //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSTSIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DFRMM.CATCNVT.ARAV // DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DFRMM.CATCNVT.CV // DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DFRMM.CATCNVT.AD // DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DFRMM.CATCNVT.CVMV // DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DFRMM.CATCNVT.CVMVMF Greg Shirey Ben E.
