How many of you have had to chase down some JOB that had a bad parm on

both are JES2 systems?
Is it time for IBM to sync JCL processing again? Do we still need this
because one system is running MVS/SP1 and another is running z/OS 1.3?
Just a general interest question because only certain items of a JOB
card are inspected on the "sending" system, requiring the receiving
system to do the full syntax checking. As a result, it is possible to
have an illegal (non-supported by ANY system) keyword (thanks to
fingercheck or mental hiccup) get passed to another system and it
fails
the JOB with no real messages to make it obvious why.
Wanna have fun? Put USERID as a keyword and do NJE to another node.

Steve:
Has something changed? We literally shipped 1000's (yes thousands) of
jobs a DAY and never ran into any issue. We also shipped jobs (and
received jobs) from 100+ NJE networks, I don't have numbers for the
last but I would place it at 200 a day and really never ran into
issues. We shipped to both JES2 & JES3 sites(even a VM site or two).
Granted this was 10 years ago but still never an issue. We really did
get quite a few junk jobs but all were returned (as far as I know)
to the sender without issue.
