Why did you put the reason code 0594003D in the command string instead of SPWNPGM1?

PARM='PGM /bin/bpxmtext 0594003D' works. stdout has: BPXFVLKP 04/27/18 JRDirNotFound: A directory in the pathname was not found Action: One of the directories specified was not found. Verify that the name specified is spelled correctly. And PARM='PGM ''/bin/bpxmtext 0594003D''' produces a WTO: +BPXM047I BPXBATCH FAILED BECAUSE SPAWN (BPX1SPN) OF 809 '/bin/bpxmtext FAILED WITH RETURN CODE 00000081 REASON CODE 0594003D. For whatever reason, it didn't feel like writing that to stderr. Apologies for using the most confusing example possible, but it's also the most relevant. sas On Thu, Jun 23, 2022 at 10:55 AM Paul Gilmartin < 0000042bfe9c879d-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: > On Thu, 23 Jun 2022 14:49:41 +0000, Seymour J Metz wrote: > > >I believe that BPXBATCH does not support quoting the path; if true that > would explain the not found return code.
