> I would imagine their other JCL checker product probably has the same issue

I was once acquired by ASG and worked there for about four years, but I have no 
special knowledge of logic of the JCL check products. That said, the products 
were acquired from competing companies and had different code bases, so the 
internal processing might be quite different, and a given bug might be specific 
to only one of them.

Hi,

Your conclusion is correct, but there is a currently known problem with PRO/JCL 
(from ASG) that erroneously says that it's not valid.  There are actually 
several PRO/JCL problems that we have open with ASG currently, related to GDG 
processing with tape and also tape processing with disp=MOD and disk processing 
with DISP=MOD.  I think we have 4 altogether.  Of all the problems, the only 
one they fixed is that the PROCLIB concatenation was not being dynamically 
located under z/OS 2.3.  (the easiest one for us to code around by  already 
defining the libraries explicitly in the parms).

I would imagine their other JCL checker product probably has the same issue but 
I don't know for sure.
