I assume your company allows http!

> According to my Google's ...

First

IBM Systems > System z > Operating systems > z/OS Internet Library

http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/

then pick your (version/)release under

◦ Publication titles, filenames, and order numbers by z/OS release, say 
V1R13

http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/zshelves13.html#zbop

Then enter the keyword of interest, say BPXWDYN, in the "Search text" box under 
z/OS V1R13.0 Base Elements Optional Features  - 448 books

You will be offered 9 manuals with relevant "hits" such as 

6.0 BPXWDYN: a text interface to dynamic allocation and dynamic output

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/bpxzb6a0/6.0?ACTION=MATCHES&REQUEST=BPXWDYN&TYPE=FUZZY&SHELF=EZ2ZO213.bks&DT=20100628090654&CASE=&searchTopic=TOPIC&searchText=TEXT&searchIndex=INDEX&rank=RANK&ScrollTOP=FIRSTHIT#FIRSTHIT

in each.

Note I've deliberately left all the garbage in the URL which shows how we got 
here. It is just what appears before the "?" which is really needed.

On review I noticed the "FUZZY" in the garbage. I *think* I may need to exploit 
what that suggests in future - thanks for pointing it out!

-

A "trick" which may be of interest - or conceivably not! - is possible with the 
URL after you have selected the release, If you want another release - 
especially if you want to perform a binary search on what was said when a 
relatively new function was introduced - it takes all sorts! - you need only 
"adjust" the release number in this URL.

I use BPXWDYN and unfortunately found that Google wasnt the 'end all' to 
finding where the doc lived.
I think , if memory servers(shades of StarTrek) it pointed to USS at IBM...

Thanks to all who sent me copies of the doc from the FTP site and to
those who pointed to the other locations where the documentation is
located.  Funny that with so many other places to get the documentation
that Google only wants to point out the FTP.

If FTP is forbidden, then presumably someone has made the publications 
available on your network. It's hard to believe that there is no available 
documentation.

The official z/OS Internet library does not require using FTP.

Specifically for BPXWDYN, try 
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/bpxzb6a0/6.0?SHELF=EZ2ZBK0K.bks&DT=20100628090654

Do you mean more documentation that's in z/OS V1R12.0 Using REXX and 
z/OS UNIX System Services manual?
