>If you are running a z/OS UNIX shell, you can submit a job using /bin/submit. >This is a standard z/OS UNIX command in at least z/OS 1.12 and above. This can submit from a z/OS UNIX resident UNIX file or from "stdin", if no file is specified in the UNIX command line. /bin/submit seems to do the trick. And I note that it propagates the submitter's userid, so no need for USER= and PASSWORD= on the JOB card.
