Re: Run python with arguments JCL

This link shows some new facilities to allocate, copy, delete and more any normal data set. VSAM data sets can be allocated just like PS or PDS data sets, with similar panels. You can see them here: https://start.oscar-jol.com/using-jol/data-set-operations-centralised or a direct link here https:

Let's face facts. This thread is all klunky hackery because BPXBATCH is horrible. It's not that hard to create a utility that just takes normal Unix shell input in "STDIN DD *" and runs whatever command you want with normal Unix line input processing. All of this nonsense to get around that

HI Paul, It's up to the program processing the instream data whether 73 and on are treated as data or not. IBM Utilities disregard everything to the right of Column 72. I don't know where this is documented. Regards, David On 2025-05-18 12:30, Paul Gilmartin wrote: On Sun, 18 May 2025 11:18:4

Peter, (I have no clue about Python) your problem looks like it has something to do with sequence numbers. Can you prepare the "card"deck without sequence numbers? Or is there a way to tell python "from now on it is comments" or as in assembler- tell Python to only look at column 1 thru 7

Hi Suresh, X in Column 72 applies to Assembler, JCL (optionally) and "old" utility programs (e.g. IEHPROGM). For more modern utilities (e.g. supplied by DFSMS like DFSMSDss), the TSO convention is used (either '+' or *'-'*). Regards, David On 2025-05-18 07:13, suresh chacko wrote: Hi Peter,

Hi Rene, I did not say anything about instream data. You are correct that instream data might be affected by line numbers. For JCL, it is true and has been for at least 50 years. Since ISPF Edit does not display line numbers in Numbered Mode, it would be wise to always issue "num;unnum" to ensu
