EZZ8343I This command is not supported in this environment.      

I didn't realize that there were zUnix commands that wouldn't run via Cozbatch. Is there something I am missing?

Thanks,

This is curious.

We were able to reproduce this error. We also see that if we run with BPXBATCH that pasearch runs fine.

The difference is that COZBATCH is (by design) running the STDIN Unix shell script and pasearch command in the same address space.

Under BPXBATCH, it will start the command or shell script in a separate address space.

We believe that pasearch is checking its own address space, and when it sees that it is running under a JES2 job rather than an OMVS address space it fails with this error. Unless there is a good reason for this, I would consider this a "bug".

If you add this line to your COZBATCH script, forcing the pasearch command in a separate address space, then it will work:

export _BPX_SHAREAS=NO
pasearch ....

or:

_BPX_SHAREAS=NO pasearch ....

Awesome. Dang.. I saw the environment non-supported on the pasearch -d trace -t command... but didn't think of the export _BPX_SHAREAS=NO.

Thanks a bunch.
