I forgot to mention. The Co:Z toolkit also provides a plethora of useful
shell utilities for copying files between the MVS file system and z/OS
UNIX that blow away what IBM ship with the base OS. We use them
extensively where I work and at my previous company. There is also the
port of SFTP which supports MVS data sets and the JES spool. It also
supports file tagging in the file system so I've dumped FTP for good.

My advice is not to use BPXBATCH, it's garbage! Run, don't walk, over
to Dovetailed Softwares website and download their Co:Z toolkit. There
is a batch utility called COZBATCH which allows you to run shell
scripts from data sets, including inline JCL.
Co:Z toolkit is free with optional paid support.

Hey everyone...I am having a tough time with a shell script I am
writing for my BPXBATCH step. All I want to do is run one of two
commands depending on a variable that is passed to the script.
I have tried coding
if [ "$pet" == "DOG" ] ; then
commands...
else
other commands
fi
and I have tried
if [[ .... ]]
if [ ... = ... ]
all with the same result:
+ DOG == DOG
DOG: /tmp/bpxshel.sh 48: FSUM7351 not found or
..: (I think these are the two square brackets) or
.: (this is the one square bracket)
So, how in the world do I code an IF statement in this BPXBATCH
script to do a simple string compare?
Thank you and best regards,
Billy Ashton
