Re: JES2 CMD truncation

Now, $PQ is invalid. You have to have an argument. To do what I did in 1981, you now have to issue $PQ,ALL (or whatever it is with the new syntax). So, at least it's not accidental. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! -- 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
JES2 CMD truncation
Remember in the old days when issuing a JES2 command, if you had invalid extra parms on the command string, JES2 would just ignore the invalid stuff, truncate it and issue the part of the command that WAS correct? Does it still work that way, or did IBM fix that "added feature" some time ago? Seems like I got clobbered a time or two by that when issuing a command to delete output that was say 4 days old or older (the entire queue). I goofed the value, JES2 truncated the bad part, and proceeded to purge ALL output.even from 2 minutes ago. THANX, Mark H.
