The OP is having a JCL problem, not a BPXBATCH or pax problem. Of course, BPXBATCH is a nearly brain-dead when it comes to running the z/OS Unix shell in batch. - How hard would it have been to support //STDIN DD * ? - Why doesn't it start the shell with local spawn rather than a separate address space?
