"Not understanding" why you still have a problem after all the suggestions you
have had!
Here is the precise solution for you according to the reference given by Bob
Rutledge.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456
78901234567890
// PARM='SH echo sftp -b /u/bpxbatch/mccheckftpfis-depot-test.ucdavis.e
// du |su -s bpxbtch'
When I positioned your example I see you had somehow taken on board the
idea that the continuation of the text on the second "card image" might need
to start in column 16.
Here is the example from Bob's reference for comparison with the solution:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456
78901234567890
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,PARM=(PARM1,'/DIR1/DIR2
// /DIR3/DIR4/DIR5/DIR6/DIR7/DIR8/DIR9/DIR10/DIR11/DIR12/DI
// R13/FILENM')
Ha!, now I position it under the column template I see the manual is wrong!!!!!
It should be - according to the text and in some sort of conformance with the
ancient original rules of JCL - as follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456
78901234567890
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,PARM=(PARM1,'/DIR1/DIR2
// /DIR3/DIR4/DIR5/DIR6/DIR7/DIR8/DIR9/DIR10/DIR11/DIR12/DI
// R13/FILENM')
I have "repositioned" all the text following "EXEC" on all three "card images"
one position to the left.
10 marks for the author and 0 marks for the "type-setter".
I went back in order to check the redbook example and whoever "typed" that
up got the positioning correct.
You should make sure you read this post with a nonproportional font such
as "Courier New". You may need to "copy and paste in something like Notepad
and set the font with Format->Font.
Although it lacks readability, I believe that this is the "simplest" solution.
I hope you are now in a position (sic) to move on.
