And: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.4.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r4.hasa400/submitlib1.htm These concatenations can contain any combination of partitioned data sets (PDSs) or file system paths. "paths"!? Yaaay! It's almost as if they forgot the 20th Century. But, (Yaaay!): ... The concatenation supports any format PDS (LRECL and RECFM) that can be used to pass JCL into input processing. ... files in the path with 1-8 character uppercase file names that conform to standard PDS member names ... I suspect that restriction can be circumvented with symlinks. Are the lexical rules for JES commands the same as for "standard PDS member names"? >Footnote: Little did I know. What a PITA RDR turned out to be, at least on my >particular LPAR. I had to override RECFM, LRECL, BLKSIZE, UNIT, VOL and DISP >(as well as DSN of course). That made my $TA command too long for the MVS >console. I had to shorten my DSN and member names a little to get it to fit. > IEBGENER is so nice! It honors the label attributes! Could you split it on multiple lines provided that your (emulated) terminal doesn't insert extraneous blanks? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
