DTLSPAWN is a free z/OS batch utility program that simplifies the
execution of z/OS Unix shell scripts and programs. It is a utility
that is similar to BPXBATCH, however it offers several improvements:
o Accepts input from a STDIN DD pointing to an MVS dataset or spool
file, with trailing white space and 73-80 line numbers trimmed.
o Can accept a list of 'ENVAR=VALUE' settings in the PARM= (prior to the
name of the command to run).
o Defaults to running the user's default login shell; doesn't require
root access to do so.
o Defaults to spawning the program/shell with _BPX_SHAREAS=MUST, which
more reliably causes the shell to run in the same address space.
o Accepts unadorned environment variables via //STDENV and automatically
handles cleaning up trailing spaces and line numbers.
