It depends on how backleveled your customers are (might be), and how will your products react to an 0C1? PLO is now older than dirt. Your customer would have to be on an ECL machine, or a 1st generation CMOS. PLO came in with G2 CMOS. I seriously doubt there are ANY production systems in use

So, the JCL C/I is not behaving as specified. Does anyone want to raise a PMR? The JCL is behaving exactly as the manual indicates it would. There can certainly be no account in the JCL manual for utilities or programs that do additional validation (such as IEBGENER). The JCL is certainly

Would love to see the entire JOB Card. The illegal job card statement maybe due to a parm later in the statement. What you have supplied shows a continuation comma but do not see any additional cards. Plus I am not seeing any message id for the message. Do you have a jobcard exit that might be

You have two approaches; which one I'd recommend is based upon how you want to determine whether the A/S should intercept or not. If your situation allows a module of yours to get control once you determine if you want to intercept for the A/S, then SVC screening might be practical. Do you
