This is how I usually run my ARSLOADs in batch:
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=ARSLOAD,REGION=0M,
// PARM=('/-h ARCH850 -u odadmin -p hahahaha -nfv
// -g "Daily sales invoices" /tmp/salesinvoice')
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ARS.ARSV850.SARSLOAD
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DSN.DB2VA10.SDSNEXIT
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DSN.DB2VA10.SDSNLOAD
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DSN.DB2VA10.SDSNLOD2
//ARSBIN DD PATH='/usr/lpp/ars/V8R5M0/bin'
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*,DCB=(RECFM=FBA,LRECL=134,BLKSIZE=134)
//*YSTCPT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
Especially when I add trace parms to the //PARM=('/-h blah blah') statement I'll end up with more characters than it'll accept.
So in that case I run the load from BPXBATCH:
//**************************************************************
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,REGION=0M
//STDIN DD PATH='/u/odv733/arnold.in',PATHDISP=(KEEP)
//SYSOUT DD *
//STDERR DD PATH='/u/odv733/bpxbatch.err',PATHMODE=SIRWXU,
// PATHOPTS=(OWRONLY,OCREAT,OTRUNC),PATHDISP=(KEEP,DELETE)
//STDOUT DD PATH='/u/odv733/bpxbatch.out',PATHMODE=SIRWXU,
// PATHOPTS=(OWRONLY,OCREAT,OTRUNC),PATHDISP=(KEEP,DELETE)
//STDENV DD *
**************************** Bottom of Data *********************
Then what's in STDIN (the arnold.in file) is this:
********************************* Top of Data ***********************
/usr/lpp/ars/V8R5M0/bin/arsdate -g
/usr/lpp/ars/V8R5M0/bin/arsload -h ARCH850 -u odadmin -p blahblah -nfv -g "Daily sales invoices" /tmp/salesinvoice
**************************** Bottom of Data *************************
I throw the arsdate -g in there just for a datestamp on top of bpxbatch.out, which then looks like this:
********************************* Top of Data ***********************
Today:.08/31/12
arsload: Using /u/odv733 for temporary files
arsload: Processing file >/tmp/salesinvoice<
arsload: Load Version <8.5.0.5> Operating System <z/OS> <03.23.00>
arsload: Server Version <8.5.0.5> Operating System <z/OS> <03.23.00>
arsload: 08/31/12 14:05:23 -- Loading started, 39486 bytes to process
blah blah blah

Support for this will undoubtedly be added in CMOD future release, whether it will be retrofitted remains to be seen.
New in z/OS V2.1 - PARMDD Statement Allows 32K Character Input
Ref: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/data/flash/dk/resources/ITSO/IBM_z-OS_v2.1_Technical_Update_-_Marna_Walle_%28Dec_3rd%29.pdf
Enhance PARM to 32k characters with PARMDD statement
Can be any type of input, sequential dataset, instream -> //PARMINDD DD *,
Example: The data set referenced by PARMDD= may also be a UNIX System Service file
DD PATH=.
//LONGPARM JOB MSGLEVEL=1
//STEP0001 EXEC PGM=MYPROGRM,PARMDD=PARMINDD
//PARMINDD DD PATH='/tmp/myparms.txt'
The parameter string that will be passed to the MYPROGRM program is contained in the Unix System Services file: /tmp/myparms.txt file.
