Yes, it works with bash, but the limitation with bash is that commands are

Yes, and that's an issue for me. I want to use bash in my shell but /bin/sh in COZBATCH so I can use DDnames. Are you getting the login shell using getpwuid()? Is there anyway to tell COZBATCH not to use the login shell? I can't see anything in the reference so I suspect not.

You probably already know this but COZBATCH works just fine with bash. I
changed my default shell to bash and it works a treat.

That's a good excuse for a party! :)

That's almost right, but COZBATCH uses spawn.  By default it will run
the

user's shell as a "login" shell.   The tricky part is that /bin/sh has
a
sticky bit on, so to get a local spawn you have to use one of the
workarounds documented in BPX1SPN

What workaround?
