<rant> The message this morning titled "Re: CLASSPATH in .profile not used" reminded me that I have never seen an adequate answer to the subject question.
IOW, why are z/OS Unix Services so badly integrated into the z/OS world? Why isn't the following JCL valid, assuming I have a RACF OMVS segment and a valid home directory? //DOSHELL EXEC PGM='sh',PARM='-x' //STDOUT DD SYSOUT=* //STDERR DD SYSOUT=* //STDIN DD * java HelloWorld //* Or even better: //DOJAVA EXEC PGM='java',PARM='HelloWorld' //STDOUT DD SYSOUT=* //STDERR DD SYSOUT=* //STDIN DD DUMMY //* And similarly: //DOAWK EXEC PGM='awk',PARM='-f DD:SYSIN DD:INPUT' //STDOUT DD SYSOUT=* //STDERR DD SYSOUT=* //STDIN DD DUMMY //SYSIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=TSOUSER.CARDLIB(MYAWKPPGM) //INPUT DD DISP=SHR,DSN=TSOUSER.INPUT.FILE //* You get the idea. I really don't care whether a telnet VT100 login looks like classic *ix to the *ix weenies or to US gov't agencies, I want and need to be able to use any and all z/OS Unix Services as normal z/OS programs from normal z/OS JCL. Why is that too much to ask? </rant> Peter This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
