I agree totally but FWIW I find that the line commands UC and UCC/UCC go a long way toward making the process tolerable.

I like to use UNIX facilities. Especially some scripting languages, such as awk. I use Co:Z instead of BPXBATCH. Anyway, sine UNIX is case sensitive, my "embedded" scripts must be in lower case. I don't want to keep my scripts in another file. So my JCL member has embedded lower case. Which makes editing the actual JCL a mess if I forget to use CAPS LOCK while editing the JCL portion. So, I kind of wish that the JCL converter or interpreter would accept JCL in lower case. In particular, upper casing the JCL statements which are not inclosed in ticks. It would just make my life easier. I.E JCL should ignore case when not in ticks. Feel free to call me a lazy idiot {grin}. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
