>SDSF. >/long_command_part_one +<ENTER> Doesn't help, because the MVS command interface (MGCRE macro) does not accept more than 126 characters.
Regarding the OP's question: - Maybe the Oracle subsytem can accept "multi-line" commands similar to MVS's SLIP command where the system prompts you for more data until you enter "END" - Maybe Oracle provides a z/OS UNIX shell command to do the customization? -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
