Need help with MOVE statement in NATURAL

Hi,

I am writing a dynamic JCL using NATURAL. I need to know the syntax for writing a MOVE statement where the statement is going to 2 lines. I need to move these two lines to the same JCL line.

For Ex:

MOVE '// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),UNIT=SYSDA,
SPACE=(CYL,(20,10),RLSE),'
TO #JCL(7)

It is throwing an error "NAT0305 Text string must begin and end on the same line."

Please advice.

Thanks,
Shubhabrata Roy.

Hi Shubhabrata,

Please add a hyphane at the end of each line (excluding the last line) to move multiple lines of text.

MOVE '// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),UNIT=SYSDA,' -
SPACE=(CYL,(20,10),RLSE),' TO #JCL(7)

Hope this will help you.

Thanks,
