PI22029: WMB V7.0 FOR Z/OS : BIPDPLY FAILS IF ONE OF THE ARGUMENTS CONTAINS A SPACE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• BIPDPLY is a JCL utility which allows you to run the mqsideploy
  command on z/OS. If one of the arguments to this command needs
  to contain a space character, there is no way to specify this in
  the JCL.
  
  For example, if you want to delete a deployed jar file, you
  would customize the JCL to contain the -d flag, with the jar
  file name as the argument. If the jar file name contains a
  space, the command will not work, and there is no way to escape
  the space character such that it will work.
