It's slightly surprising that a facility as generally hostile as TSO has
a UNIX-savvy subcommand such as RECEIVE. AMATERSE UNPACK
won't do that (but you can cheat it by prefixing an empty temp DSN.
Go figger.)
I wrote a Rexx {program|exec|script|clist} to do the whole schmear,
curl; jar; receive. I thought the greatest irritant was the requirement
to queue a reply for receive -- that ought to be a parameter.
