Thanks to everyone. I implemented Raymond's suggestion for // COMMAND 'blah' last night, and it works great. The unsynchronized behavior is fine for the immediate need at hand. I needed to refresh WLM.
John, do you have an example of an IEFBR14 job that would do this? I've used PGM=COMMAND before - I wasn't sure of the origin... probably the CBTTAPE. Again, thanks all.
