I'm running a rexx script under the OMVS shell and have an anomaly that I need help with.
I'm copying a OMVS directory that contains a lot of files into a PDS where each file results in a PDS member. The command is similar to: cp -A -U -v /u/me/pdsdir/* "//'hlq.my.pds'" When there are fewer than 20-30 files the cp runs just fine. When there are more (I don't know what that number is yet but in excess of 30 but less than 100) the shell input status changes from RUNNING to INPUT and will not proceed until I hit ENTER. I've waited and ENTER is a must. I've 2 bpxwunix environment variables set: env.1 = '_BPX_SHAREAS=YES' env.2 = '_BPX_SPAWN_SCRIPT=YES' env.0 = 2 Note that this does NOT occur when I SSH into the z/OS system and run the rexx script from that interface. Thanks for any tips/hints/suggestions. Lionel B. Dyck <sdg>< Website: <https://www.lbdsoftware.com> https://www.lbdsoftware.com "Worry more about your character than your reputation.
