Decades ago when I had first discovered the exciting geekery of computer
programming, I remarked in a passing group of fellow enthusiasts that this
was the most fun I'd ever had in my life. One of them said "Yeah? Would
you be interested in a job this fall?" So the Academic Computer Center
hired me (just a student job) to a) run a HASP station and b) help other
students debug their programs.
The latter would come to the desk, all confused: "I ran this program last
semester and it worked, but now it's failing and [all chorus it together
with me] I DIDN'T CHANGE A THING!".
The response is always simple: Well, let's look at the compile errors. And
it was almost always right there. This was a PL/C compiler with lots of
willingness to guess, so it might say "Stm 53: Missing right parenthesis in
column 14".
And the student then says "Oh, well, I did change that ONE statement..."
The point of this rambling digression is this: If you want someone to help
you diagnose your program at a distance, and you say "I keep getting
errors", mightn't it be helpful to say WHAT errors? This is kind of basic.
Quote them exactly, please.

I am trying to transfer a file using Connect:Direct from one z/OS system to
another. I need to specify both STORCLAS and DATACLAS. This is what I am
writing:
CPYSEQ PROCESS -
SNODE=RTST
COPY1 COPY -
FROM (DSN=G120NTN.KVTNKSP.UNLOAD -
DISP=SHR -
PNODE -
) -
TO (DSN=G120NTN.KVTNKSP.UNLOAD -
DISP=(NEW,CATLG) -
SPACE=(CYL,(999,9999),RLSE) -
SYSOPTS="STORCLAS=RKF1 DATACLAS=EXT" -
SNODE -
)
And I keep getting errors.
How to I specify more than one parameter in SYSOPTS. I've tried writing a
comma between the parameters with the same results.
