Issue/Introduction
Why am I getting message N96008 in my NMBCI batch job?
Here's my JCL, which I've based on the NCL Guide appendix I: Batch Command Interface.
//NMBCI EXEC PGM=NMBCI //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=A //SYSIN DD * BCILOGON MAI USER NETMBSYS PASSWORD LUPREF NMM9F MENU BCI SHOW USERS BCIDISC /*
The results are:
+BCILOGON MAI =N96008 UNRECOGNISABLE DATA AT 'NMM9F ' +SHOW USERS =N96001 COMMAND IGNORED - NO SOLVE SESSION +BCIDISC =N96001 COMMAND IGNORED - NO SOLVE SESSION
I've tried various combinations of LU with the whole LUNAME, MENU with the option BCI, a different LUPREF value (the LU1 variant instead of the full-screen one above), etc. but they all yield the same N96008 message.
What am I doing wrong?
Environment
All NetMaster and SOLVE products, all releases
Resolution
The logon needs to be for that of the user submitting the job, not a background user. Sample JCL that works:
//NMBCI EXEC PGM=NMBCI //STEPLIB DD DSN=<hlq>.SM50.LOAD,DISP=SHR //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=A //SYSIN DD * BCILOGON SOLVE USER AAAAAAAAA PASSWORD QWERTY LUPREF NMF MENU BCI SHOW USERS BCIDISC /*
