My experience is that it has always been that way. I've always had to fill the first line completely, and continue on next line. Takes some creative cut/paste. What you suggest would be a nice improvement, but IMO nothing is broke. ________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of Jesse 1 Robinson <jesse1.robin...@sce.com> Sent: Sunday, November 29, 2020 12:23:56 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> Subject: Extraneous blanks in SDSF issued command
**CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL** **DO NOT open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails** We were instructed by a vendor to set a two line SLIP trap for a problem affecting their product. My colleague used the SDSF command facility (/+) to enter the command. Working together, we could not get it to work because trailing blanks on the first line were passed to MVS, breaking the command. Here's the command. (? Is a single character wildcard.) | System Command Extension | | | | ===> SL SET,A=SVCD,ID=SKIP,C=522,J=CSSW?L01,JL=(CSSW?L01,OPERTUNE,bbbb| | ===> DB04MSTR),SDATA=(RGN,CSA,TRT),END | | | The four blanks (bbbb) went to MVS and caused a break in the SLIP command so that everything after 'OPERTUNE' was apparently treated as a comment. We played with this for some time but could not get rid of the blanks. We eventually found a different way to enter the command, but I'd like to know if we're missing something. Pored over online doc but could not see anything relevant. . .
