No. This is both WAD and BAD. In the JCL Ref this is stated, 'TYPRUN=SCAN checks the JCL only through the converter, not the interpreter.' >This is running in z/OS v2.2 And older versions too. One thread about this same problem was around July 2012 where with TYPRUN=SCAN, you could not see the SYSIN contents unless you use INPUT ON and then use ST in SDSF. ... and in that thread 'Show the //SYSIN DD * lines when using TYPRUN=SCAN?', there are two important comments amongst others: >TYPRUN=SCAN is only JCL checking and so will not really "show" the output of >the SYSIN. >TYPRUN=SCAN's "checking" is a bad joke.
