Examples
When PGM and program_name are specified and the specified program name
does not begin with a slash character (/), BPXBATCH prefixes the user’s initial
working directory information to the program pathname.
1. You want to run the shell script you specify with stdin.
ALLOCATE FILE(STDIN) PATH(’/stdin_file_pathname’)
PATHOPTS(ORDONLY)
BPXBATCH SH
2. You want to run the program /usr/bin/payroll.
BPXBATCH PGM /usr/bin/payroll

ISHELL — Invoke the ISPF shell
Format
Description
BPXBATCH SH /u/usr/joe/shellscriptA > /tmp/a.out
ISHELL [initial_path] [-d]
Note: An alias of ISHELL is:
ISH
ISHELL invokes the z/OS ISPF shell, a panel interface that helps you to set up and
manage z/OS UNIX System Services functions.
You can use the ISHELL command to:
v List files in a directory
v Create, delete, or rename directories, files, and special files
v Browse files
v Edit files
v Copy files
v Display file attributes
v Search files for text strings
v Compare files or directories
v Run executable files
v Display the attributes and contents of a symbolic link (symlink)
v Mount and unmount a z/OS UNIX file system
v Create a z/OS UNIX file system
v Set up character special files
v Set up standard directories for a root file system
v Set up existing users and groups for z/OS UNIX System Services access
For more information on setting up TSO/E users, see z/OS UNIX System
Services Planning.
Some of these tasks require either superuser authority (such as mounting,
unmounting, setting up character special files, setting up existing users and groups
for z/OS UNIX System Services access) or the RACF SPECIAL attribute (such as
setting up existing users and groups for z/OS UNIX access).
