Improvement to BPX SYNTAXCHECK (z/OS v2r5)

As requested in Case TS011449479, I suggest that 
BPX SYNTAXCHECK functionality include validation of path.

Test on a 2.5 system where the leading '/' was missing from a mount path:

EDIT SYS1.PARMLIB(BPXPRMDG)

MOUNT FILESYSTEM('ZOS25.ETC.ZFS')
TYPE(ZFS)
MODE(RDWR)
MOUNTPOINT('etc')

setomvs syntaxcheck=(dg)
BPXO039I SETOMVS SYNTAXCHECK COMMAND SUCCESSFUL. 

 

According to the manual :

IBM z/OS V2.5: Enabling innovative development to support hybrid cloud and AI business applications
IBM United States Software Announcement 221-260 July 27, 2021
https://www.ibm.com/common/ssi/ShowDoc.wss?docURL=/common/ssi/rep_ca/0/897/ENUS221-260/index.html&lang=en

The BPXPRMXX syntax checker has been updated to validate ZFS parameters on the ROOT and MOUNT statements, giving system programmers improved functional validation prior to re-IPLing the system.

 

Kind Regards.
