Please show an example of what you find doesn't work.
I'd expect redirection to succeed in such as:
//STEP EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,PARM='SH /bin/cat </et/services'
Redirection, and symbol evaluation, mentioned earlier in this thread,
are both shell facilities, available only if BPXBAtCH invokes a shell.
The more relevant question is, "Why/ doesn't BPXBATCH allow
instream STDIN?" as both AOPBATCH and BPXWUNIX do.
Would a DSFS path to a JES spool file work?
Where's the DSFS User's Guide?
