Continuations mean commas, right?
What am I doing wrong?

Reaching way back here

I think you need to have a non-space character in column 72 on the lines you want continued.

In this case, lines 5 & 7.

X in 72 is normal for cont IIRC

So how did the sysprog fix it :-)

Nah, that's application specific

I've seen the 'X' in the DD * area when send data to programs.

My wild guess is that your continued lines had to be brought to the left a bit because too much whitespace caused JCL to ignore th eline, or treat it differently in some way.
Was that even remotely close to the problem?

Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.

Exactly correct

Too many spaces.
Max of 13 spaces on the 2nd "continued" lines after the '//'
I HATE JCL!!!!!!!

RPG programmers tell me we've got it easy. :)

RPG is kinda cool

I was going to a 6 month tech school (BASIC,BAL, JCL, COBOL) about 22 years ago. My brother worked on a S/34. I lived with him.

The Unisys mainframe at the school had RPG. So for every assignment I had in COBOL, I also did it in RPG. 1/10 the code.
