Why not simply:
call *(BPXBATCH) 'PGM /bin/sleep 30' asis
or the equivalent:
//STEP EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,PARM='PGM /bin/sleep 30'
I suspect some programmers are so averse to anything related
to the U-word that they'll seek and install and use freeware
rather than learning and employing a now-standard facility.
Or, perhaps, they won't use it because it requires minuscule
characters in a JCL file.
