But this thread inspired me to RTFM, where I see:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.ikjc500/ikj2l2_SUBMIT_command_operands.htm Note [brightly highlighed] All characters in the job stream are converted to uppercase before being processed. WTF!? Does that mean that if I SUBMIT a job containing: //SYSUT1 DD * This is Mixed Case text. The effect is the same as: //SYSUT1 DD * THIS IS MIXED CASE TEXT. I don't remember it that way, but I confess I can't remember having tried it. Lately I've submitted only via FTP or copy to INTRDR. But is a clarification RCF in order? I'd advocate RFEs for a o SUBMIT FROMDDNAME(...) option o Removing the Fixed-80 restriction, relaxed for JES2 circa z/OS 1.5 and for JESZ3 far earlier, but lingering in TSO/ISPF submit. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
