Does the OP need to do SUBMIT? Do you have a business case for removing the brain-dead FB80 restriction in SUBMIT?

But this thread inspired me to RTFM, where I see: https://secure-web.cisco.com/1GlMdtzvEKP3x9RqXA8s_aHoLb9YfYKrWBmjvTHgf5RzAfVFTkz1Z-ed3kk0u3oc93-HJYBc0K9WpdRW16K4JQUWKaZq9XGUQGbbz5wRMR-O-uW0ZdvdLnKeFRToho8EBEQZVpQGhWRr35wBOtCciDnwvrbGf4S_yhMV7GD19EwgA43ktd7MzLCvkLLtxU0-xhfptTaA0B-jH-p4ProHXmVTlWmIyrMpz6VJaih3830obRNcAuO0VfJetpvumiXVj_f8O9YCpnvFMBtfYNjAtYeqvHgNWmJjlwcUcZKi5AoISe4WgrKlprQPCsSajzZyLHNdT6euHZisQFZntYdch6HvmK8kspS6O1fpGaNBEkJ0htZQRZofg_zo92ctneFZd/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibm.com%2Fsupport%2Fknowledgecenter%2Fen%2FSSLTBW_2.3.0%2Fcom.ibm.zos.v2r3.ikjc500%2Fikj2l2_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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
