Gil,
I assume that you are correct, but I'm not certain that I understand the
question.
Co:Z Batch is a utility to run the z/OS Unix shell in batch, fixing many of
the limitations of BPXBATCH.
What Co:Z SFTP users usually do something like:
// EXEC PGM=COZBATCH (run a z/OS UNIX login shell in the same AS)
//STDIN DD *
# here is your in-line z/OS UNIX shell script
user=myuser
host=host1.myco.com
ssh_opts=...
# the following runs the Co:Z SFTP command, which
# uses the z/OS OpenSSH client under the covers.
cozsftp $ssh_opts ${user}@${host} <<EOB
get remote.file //HLQ.LOCAL.DSN
put //DD:MYDD remote.file2
EOB
//MYDD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=HLQ.FOO.BAR
//
You can do this with BPXBATCH instead of COZBATCH, you just have to put
your script in a zFS file rather than an inline data set. (Well, using a
DD like "MYDD" from a BPXBATCH shell script is problematic, but you can use
BPXBATSL and a non-login shell).
I will defer to Matt, but I don't think that his question has anything to
do with COZBATCH vs BPXBATCH.
Maybe he is hoping that since OpenSSH will be a z/OS 2.2 element that IBM
OpenSSH sftp will support data sets....
IBM OpenSSH 1.3 SFTP does not support z/OS data sets, and IBM's SOD doesn't
mention data set support.
