OK here is what I tried so far - along with the error msgs; any other ideas?
How can IBM's Advanced Job Scheduler not support parms with embedded space or embedded "*"?? It doesn’t seem possible - how could it be useful? I must be missing something simple here!
Thanks!
*********************** single quote *****************************************
(At least this experiment runs the job. The other examples below don’t even try to run.)
STRGRPJS JOB(HIJ544_LS TCMT544_LS 01) TIME(*IMMED)

Start Group using JS (STRGRPJS)

Just a guess (not a user of AJS) but have you tried this:
