BPXBATCH cannot find su command

Hi, Because of auditor demands we are no longer able to run TSO USS commands that require UID=0, so I attempting figure out how to run USS commands in under BPXBATCH. The following is a job to debug the unmount command in batch but I have been unsuccessful so far. I am hoping that I am doing something wrong and that one of you can point out my error.

So if it does have any kind of internal time awareness, there is zero reason to expect it to be synced with anything related to actual date-time and no reason it would choose to fail at a real world 1999/2000 year boundary it can't possibly know is happening.

Capturing STC SYSOUT when the STC is shut down
Hi, We are running NVAS and the SYSPRINT file gets directed to SYSOUT=* which is fine as we can browse it if we need to. For some reason (Audit request?) I am being asked to vacuum up the SYSOUT file and put it into a GDG when the task is recycled, while still leaving it as SYSOUT when the STC is active. . Based on a message I received, a disp of PASS and SYSOUT are incompatible. I am now considering using SDSF in batch so solve this problem (thanks to Lorne Heffer). Anyone have any ideas? Using a commercial Program Product is a non-starter as, like everyone else the client is only interested in lower cost. Thanks.
