I have a question that's so basic I'm almost ashamed to ask.

Quite often I need to execute RACF commands via the TMP in batch. The commands are lengthy and don't always fit in 80 columns so I'm using variable length records. With VB data sets, the TSO command parser expects line numbers in the first 8 columns so the commands must not start before column 9.

Fixing this is rather trivial using the ISPF editor with "))9" or by adding a string of blanks in front of each line if the commands are generated by program but it is nevertheless inconvenient. I've looked in a couple TSO/E manuals in search of an option that would tell the TSO command parser to ignore or not expect line numbers but couldn't find anything.

Is there an option or some other trick to allow commands to start in column 1?
