We are on z/OS 1.7 - We had a JCL error and determined that the cause was An x'00' (null) between a STEPNAME and its corresponding EXEC directive. We changed The null to a x'40' (space) and everything worked fine. The programmer that created the JCL Claims that the JCL with the embedded null worked okay under z/OS 1.4 during testing. Anyone with knowledge of the effect of nulls in JCL and any behaviorial Changes between z/OS 1.4 to z/OS 1.7.
If anyone is on z/OS 1.4 could just change a space x'40' to a null x'00' and see what happens It would be appreciated.
