Issue/Introduction

After applying CA Recommended Service (CARS) for z/OS maintenance level 1910  to JCLCheck r12.0, users are now reporting they are getting message CAY6037W when coding a hyphen '-' after a parameter with no space.   JCLCheck appears to be treating the hyphen like a plus sign '+' which is used to continue a command and the value within the command.  This error is not flagged if a hyphen is coded after a right parentheses ')' with no space.  

Environment

Release : 12.0

Component:  JCLCheck Workload Automation

Resolution

PTF SO10616 resolves this problem.

 

Additional Information

IBM manual z/OS DFSMS Access Method Services Commands  at How to continue commands and parameters  confirms it is perfectly acceptable to have no  space between the parameter and the hyphen
