Au contraire. Here documents work far better if record boundaries
are preserved (not arbitrarily; converted to NL); hardly at all if lines
are concatenated.
I use them regularly
BPXWUNIX does much better. Fantasy RFE: provide a rudimentary
wrapper for BPXWUNIX callable via IRXJCL, not much more than:
SIGNAL ON NOVALUE
parse arg Login Cmd /* Cmd may have multiple tokens. */
address MVS
'EXECIO * DISKR STDENV (stem ENV.' /* Error recovery? */
call BPXWUNIX Cmd, 'DD:STDIN', 'DD:STDOUT', 'DD:STDERR', 'ENV.', Login
return RESULT
I'd expect DD *,SYMBOLS= to work for STDIN.
