IIRC, it's the shell, not AOPBATCH, that deals with continuation characters.
Try a backslash at the end of the line - although I'm not sure how this will translate with fixed 80 column input - e.g. ln -s $/usr/lpp/db2/db2810/jcc/classes/db2jcc.jar \ db2jcc.jar; Later, Ray -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Schiradin,Roland HG-Dir itb-db/dc Sent: Friday January 19 2007 10:31 To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: AOPBATCH Continuation character Hi folks, anybody know the continuation character for AOPBTACH if any? The command might be larger then 80 charachters.
