Hello list, I can't find an elegant way to pass a variable containing a long string to a USS shell command executed under BPXBATCH.
Looking at what the JVMLDMxx module (JVM invocation) does I tried something like the following: //RUNTEST EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH //STDOUT DD SYSOUT=* //STDERR DD SYSOUT=* //STDENV DD * IJO="-Xms16m -Xmx128m" IJO="$IJO -verbose:class" IJO="$IJO -Dfile.encoding=ISO8859-1" //STDPARM DD * SH echo $IJO But the echo command returns the following: "$IJO -Dfile.encoding=ISO8859-1" Which shows that variable concatenation doesn't work as I would expect. Manually executing the same commands under OMVS z/OS shell, everything works fine: IBMUSER:/u/ibmuser: >IJO="-Xms16m -Xmx128m" IBMUSER:/u/ibmuser: >IJO="$IJO -verbose:class" IBMUSER:/u/ibmuser: >IJO="$IJO -Dfile.encoding=ISO8859-1" IBMUSER:/u/ibmuser: >echo $IJO -Xms16m -Xmx128m -verbose:class -Dfile.encoding=ISO8859-1 I know I may use a real file, or even a USS file to write a single assignment in one line, but I would like to avoid carrying unneeded baggage. What I am doing wrong?
