It was designed to accept a short command from BLSPBSUP that fit in the first 72 characters of one card image placed into the COMMAND ddname. If you have a long command that needs to be performed by IPCS via that route or via the kind of JCL shown earlier in this thread, the thought was that you would make that long command into a CLIST or REXX exec and would invoke it via something like the following: exec 'my.clist(ctraceit)' Frankly, we never thought of BLSCBSUQ as something that you'd use directly in your own JCL, and the product documentation reflects that line of thought. It may be useful as a starting point for a CLIST of your own that does things your way.
