-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Phil Smith III Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2021 12:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [External] Moron of the day -- me! Yesterday I needed to run a quick test of a USS-resident program from batch, which I certainly knew was possible but had never done before. Found various pages talking about how to use BPXBATCH, tried it. RC=0 but no program output. None. Zero. Nada. Tinkered with DDs for STDOUT and STDERR (SYSOUT=*), no joy. Tried routing to DASD, no joy. Scratched head, gave up for the day. Looked at it again this morning and saw the problem instantly. Now, as we all know, there is no new JCL: every bit of JCL is descended from a fragment found on a stone tablet on the side of a mountain near Poughkeepsie back in the early 1960s. Every "new" job is just an old job, modified. And it happened that the job I'd taken as my template had TYPRUN=SCAN. Wasn't even aware I had any such.! Presumably I won't make that mistake again.* ...phsiii *This week ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ________________________________ American Express made the following annotations ________________________________ This e-mail was sent to you by a representative of Amex Bank of Canada, P.O.
