TRANBKP script running fine locally but abend in Live

The issue you're experiencing with the TRANBKP job in the live environment (carddemo-l3-workshop-bk2) appears to be related to character encoding or parsing problems with the IDCAMS commands. This is a common issue that can occur when moving from a local or test environment to a live one, especially if there are differences in how character encoding is handled.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Double-check the IDCAMS commands in the TRANBKP script, particularly in the PRC001 step. Look for any unexpected characters or syntax errors that might be causing the parser to fail.

2. Verify that the encoding of the script files in the live environment matches the expected encoding. Even though you've commented out the encoding configurations in application-utility-pgm.yml, there might still be a mismatch between the file encoding and the system's default encoding.

3. Review the entire IDCAMS command set in your live scripts for any syntax errors or unexpected characters. Pay special attention to line breaks, spaces, and any special characters that might have been introduced during the transfer to the live environment.

4. If possible, try to replicate the exact environment and configurations from your successful local tests in the live environment. This includes checking Tomcat versions, Java versions, and any other relevant settings.

5. Consider adding debug logging or outputting the IDCAMS commands before execution in the live process. This can help you identify any differences between the commands being executed locally versus in the live environment.

6. If the issue persists, you may need to review the Blu Age runtime configuration for the live environment to ensure it's correctly set up to handle the IDCAMS commands.

7. As a last resort, you might need to manually edit the IDCAMS commands in the live environment to remove any problematic characters or formatting issues.

Remember that live environments can sometimes behave differently from local or test environments due to subtle differences in configuration or execution context. If these steps don't resolve the issue, you may need to consult with AWS Blu Age support for more specific guidance tailored to your live setup.
