I have a simple execution of BPXBATCH where all I wish to accomplish is to display the PATH in effect when BPXBATCH starts a shell instance and the environment variables that are set. Here is my simple JCL setup:
//SHOWSHEL EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,PARM=SH //STDIN DD * /bin/echo $PATH /bin/env //STDOUT DD SYSOUT=* //STDERR DD SYSOUT=* The output on STDOUT reflects the messages generated by /etc/profile but nothing else. According to "Chapter 19. BPXBATCH utility" in the "XL C/C++ Users Guide", "If you specify SH with no program-name information, BPXBATCH attempts to run anything read in from stdin.". That is not happening, and I do not understand why not. Any RTFM or other information you can provide to cure my ignorance is appreciated. Unfortunately we do not have the luxury of having the CoZ tools installed here so I do not have COZBATCH as an alternative.
