Hmm. I just did the classic d t from the /+ panel and it worked just fine: RESPONSE=xxxx IEE136I LOCAL: TIME=13.45.48 DATE=2016.349 UTC: RESPONSE=TIME=19.45.48 DATE=2016.349
Perhaps, in addition, some commands are case sensitive and some are not? Perhaps quoted operands don't get uppercased, but unquoted do? That's it. I tried s foo,parm=bar and parm='bar'. Here are the results on the console: NC0000000 XXXX 16349 13:47:42.04 XXX001 00000290 S FOO,PARM=BAR N 0200000 XXXX 16349 13:47:42.14 STC03708 00000281 $HASP100 FOO ON STC M 4040000 XXXX 16349 13:47:42.43 STC03708 00000090 IEFC452I FOO - JOB NOT R N 4000000 XXXX 16349 13:47:42.50 STC03708 00000090 $HASP396 FOO TERMIN NR0000000 XXXX 16349 13:47:42.61 XXX001 00000090 IEE122I START COMMAND JC NC0000000 XXXX 16349 13:48:09.19 XXX001 00000290 S FOO,PARM='bar' N 0200000 XXXX 16349 13:48:09.28 STC03709 00000281 $HASP100 FOO ON STC M 4040000 XXXX 16349 13:48:09.57 STC03709 00000090 IEFC452I FOO - JOB NOT R N 4000000 XXXX 16349 13:48:09.76 STC03709 00000090 $HASP396 FOO TERMIN Same deal in the STC JCL: 2 //STARTING EXEC FOO,PARM='bar' Charles -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Phil Smith Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2016 11:34 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Uppercasing MVS operator commands We have some fun yesterday: one of my team was having trouble with an operand being passed to an STC from SDSF on startup. After a bunch of "it works for me, I'm cutting & pasting what you're saying you're doing?!" we finally discovered that he was using the "System Command Extension" panel (the one you get when you just do a /), and I was doing the command directly from SDSF: /s proc,parm='theparm' Apparently the panel doesn't uppercase the command! Is this known/deliberate/documented? Some Googling didn't find it, but it's a pretty generic thing to search for ("MVS command uppercase" and the like). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
