Trouble with //DD:

[BobC]

Maybe you can Help with this... This works:
//BCOHSFTP JOB FTN,'COHO',MSGCLASS=X,CLASS=A,REGION=0M
//JOBLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=COZ.LOADLIB
//*
//RUNSFTP EXEC PGM=COZBATCH
//STDIN DD *
cozsftp root@bufw116t <<EOB
lzopts mode=text,linerule=crlf
put //'PROD.TEMP.BCOHSMFD.STEP0060.SORTOUT' smftest.txt
EOB
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
but this doesn't???
//BCOHSFTP JOB FTN,'COHO',MSGCLASS=X,CLASS=A,REGION=0M

The only reason that I can think that this would fail (using DD:) is that for some reason the "cozsftp" command was being run in a separate z/OS address space.

One reason that this might occur would be that the user's .profile or the /etc/profile has set _BPX_SHARAS=NO.

Try adding this to the beginning of your shell script;

//STDIN DD *
env
export _BPX_SHAREAS=YES
...

and see if that is true (and if it works now)

//STDIN DD *
env
export _BPX_SHAREAS=YES
...

and see if that is true (and if it works now)

This MAY be because the user is using bash instead of sh for a shell.
I modified a shell script to issue a set here are the results:

I don't know what port of BASH you are using, but I doubt that it supports _BPX_SHAREAS and _BPS_SPAWN_SCRIPT. Thus, when you run the "cozsftp" command from your BASH script, it is forked into a separate BPXAS address space.

Try running with the z/OS shell by adding PARM='/ /bin/sh -L' to your EXEC statement.

The bash port 2.03 is from the binaries at IBM's website and VERY convenient when using ssh.
Using the PARM solved the problem.

Thanks so much for your time on this.
