Specifying a line Continuation Character for XCOM for z/OS

Products

• XCOM Data Transport
• XCOM Data Transport - z/OS

Issue/Introduction

When creating JCL for an XCOM batch job and trying to pass several parameters, I need to continue on the next line. How do I code this?

Environment

Release: XCOM Data Transport for z/OS
Component: XCMVS

Resolution

When coding a continuation line for CA XCOM batch jobs, follow standard JCL SYSIN rules.

• Continuation can span multiple lines as long you put a plus sign (+) at the end of each line and the next line starts in columns 2 through 16.
• Each new parameter must start in column one.
• Parameter values that have embedded spaces, quotes, or a plus sign (+) followed by a space, which would indicate a continuation line, must be enclosed in either single or double quotes.
