> Could you split it on multiple lines I am neither a console nor a JES command expert but I think the problem is that the maximum length console command from any source is 126 (?) characters. Does JES perhaps support some sort of continuation convention external to MVS console restrictions (as SLIP does)? I don't know.
I am not sure if the RDR PROC that I have is IBM-original or if someone modified it for their own purposes, but it says //IEFRDER DD UNIT=TAPE,LABEL=(,NL),VOL=SER=JES2IN,DISP=OLD, // DCB=(RECFM=F,BLKSIZE=80,LRECL=80) Not the most helpful defaults. BTW, SDSF does not insert blanks. The OP in that thread had the blanks right there in front of him on the panel. SDSF just honored what was typed. Might it be user-helpful were SDSF to *strip* blanks at the end of a continued line? Quite possibly.

"paths"!? Yaaay! It's almost as if they forgot the 20th Century. But, (Yaaay!): ... The concatenation supports any format PDS (LRECL and RECFM) that can be used to pass JCL into input processing. ... files in the path with 1-8 character uppercase file names that conform to standard PDS member names ... I suspect that restriction can be circumvented with symlinks. Are the lexical rules for JES commands the same as for "standard PDS member names"? >Footnote: Little did I know.

Could you split it on multiple lines provided that your (emulated) terminal doesn't insert extraneous blanks? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
