Troubleshooting
Problem
What is the syntax for continuing hierarchical file system (HFS) PATH statements in JCL?
Resolving The Problem
To continue a long pathname in JCL, you must type through column 71, and then start a new line with // and continue the pathname in column 16. For example:
//COPYFILE EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=*
//*-+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----7----+
//SYSUT1 DD PATH='/u/lafer/MakeTPF41/tools/include41/maketpf_filter_p
// reprocess_cntl_file',
// FILEDATA='TEXT',BLKSIZE=32760
