Yes, that's the same with Rocket Ported Tools and IBM's ported tools such as Python, Node.js, Golang and I expect clang/LLVM to be added to that list. If you want to use these software packages free of charge that's up to you. But no customer will put something into production without support. For tools, such as Rocket binutils, a lot of customers don't pay. But for Git they typically do and we are seeing a lot of uptake.

Of course, there is Zowe which is also free. But IBM and vendors aim to make money by using the Zowe framework for products.

There is an obvious ignorance on this forum to business models such as free with paid support, free core etc.

Subject: Re: Coding IF statement in BPXBATCH shell

My advice is not to use BPXBATCH, it's garbage! Run, don't walk, over to
Dovetailed Softwares website and download their Co:Z toolkit. There is a
batch utility called COZBATCH which allows you to run shell scripts from
data sets, including inline JCL.

Co:Z toolkit is free with optional paid support.

Hey everyone...I am having a tough time with a shell script I am
writing for my BPXBATCH step. All I want to do is run one of two
commands depending on a variable that is passed to the script.

I have tried coding
if [ "$pet" == "DOG" ] ; then
    commands...
else
    other commands
fi

and I have tried
if [[ .... ]]
if [ ... = ... ]

all with the same result:
+ DOG == DOG
DOG: /tmp/bpxshel.sh 48: FSUM7351 not found     or
..: (I think these are the two square brackets)     or
.: (this is the one square bracket)

So, how in the world do I code an IF statement in this BPXBATCH script
to do a simple string compare?

Thank you and best regards,
Billy Ashton
