JES2 parsing of commands is not conducive to comments. To include them on a command you have to use a /* ... */ construct.
During parse, all blanks are removed, along with syntactically correct comments. If what remains is not a syntactically correct JES command, it will not be executed. Is it possible you have been relying on at least one blank delimiting the command ahead of garbage "comments"? ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of Terry Sambrooks <terry_sambro...@btconnect.com> Sent: Friday, October 23, 2015 7:22 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Using MGCRE with JES2 Commands Hi I have resolved the issue I was having with MGCRE and it was nothing to do with security. I did try the WARN setting within RACF and I also experimented with RACROUTE (which is another story) but ultimately the problem lay with command length. Because the TEXT length on MGCRE can be up to 126 characters I defined an area of that size and left the length fixed. This worked OK for z/OS Commands, but it would seem that JES2 is more picky. By calculating the command length and storing it in the TEXT prefix area, the program is now working fine.
