Of course that particular command will fit in a 100-character PARM to BPXBATCH. And when 2.1 becomes available, PARMDD will support enormous PARMs. And I believe I can do something similar with BPXWUNIX. But only IBM (and I) would see the wisdom in running IRXJCL in batch in order to run a z/OS Unix shell. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
