Why don't IBM just provide a BPXSHELL program that does the right thing? It's a piece of cake to implement and AOPBATCH already does it, which is an IBM product.Ah, and so you answered your own question. You want a good IBM UNIX JCL invocation program? Just buy the product which supplied AOPBATCH ! {grin} I will agree with you if you say that IBM should just include AOPBATCH with z/OS, with BPXBATCH being an alias to it. But then why should IBM give away what they currently get money for?
I don't care now because I have my own utility which I can ship to customers. And in writing it learned a lot about how I can write other utilities for z/OS UNIX to run in batch.
