100 bytes.

Like you, I wrote some JCL to EXEC PGM=Q and quickly encountered the 100 byte limit of the PARM field.

Looking both ways before crossing the border into Unix System Services, I copied (OCOPY) the program object to the HFS and wrote a shell script to execute it with my 111 bytes of parameters. Since we have InfoPrint, I tried both AOPBATCH and BPXBATCH to execute my script. AOPBATCH has better stdout and stderr handling than BPXBATCH (I understand this is changed in z/OS 1.7).

It worked.

Possible cosmetic bug: the "connected to" message consistently has two extra bytes of x'1d8c' at the end when Q is executed via AOPBATCH, and two extra bytes of x'1d85' when executed by BPXBATCH. This behavior may be isolated to z/OS as I did not observe it when I tested the Q program on Win2K server, but I don't have any other *nix boxes to test on.

Hi,

I'm liking this utility so far.

However, sometimes in my JCL, I get the following message:
EXCESSIVE PARAMETER LENGTH IN THE PARM FIELD

Any idea what the max can be?

Thanks!

Historically, I believe the maximum parm field specification allowed is 100 characters.
