Another interesting JCL thing.
If you invoke a program such as REXX with JCL and pass a parm with
back slashes in it, the back slashes work fine. Ex :
//JS001 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,PARM='%SAYPRM \X\XX'
However, when I do essentially the same JCL with a program which
uses IBM LE and C Environments the back slashes are removed, forcing me to
use double back slashes to get one single one. In this case UCMD from
Stonebranch Software.
//JS001 EXEC PGM=UCMD,PARM='-o "\\tmp\\xxx\\zzzz"'
I have spoken with Stonebranch, and they say that there is nothing
in their code to give any special handling to back slashes. They believe
that this is in LE or C runtime libraries in MVS. This is a real pain in
in the neck when the parm you wish to pass is a MS directory.
I HATE it when software is TOO helpful.
