How many of you have had to chase down some JOB that had a bad parm on it, but the submitting system was not the detecting system, even though both are JES2 systems?
Is it time for IBM to sync JCL processing again? Do we still need this because one system is running MVS/SP1 and another is running z/OS 1.3? Just a general interest question because only certain items of a JOB card are inspected on the "sending" system, requiring the receiving system to do the full syntax checking. As a result, it is possible to have an illegal (non-supported by ANY system) keyword (thanks to fingercheck or mental hiccup) get passed to another system and it fails the JOB with no real messages to make it obvious why. Wanna have fun? Put USERID as a keyword and do NJE to another node.
