Just learned something about TSO batch. Coding the RECEIVE command all
on one line as

RECEIVE INFILE(SYS2) DSNAME('APF1.V100.ISPPLIB.TEST') OLD
will make it fail.
Because DSNAME() and OLD are not valid operands of the RECEIVE command...
Splitting it across 2 lines as
//SYSTSIN DD *
RECEIVE INFILE(SYS2)
DSNAME('APF1.V100.ISPPLIB.TEST') OLD
/*
will make it work.
but they are valid responses to the prompt issued by RECEIVE.
Evidently going back to the SYSTSIN dd for the next
part of the command is the same as getting input from the prompt in
foreground.
"Next part of the command" and "prompt" are completely different for RECEIVE.
