    Enhance jsub to be event driven

    It would be great if we could enhance jsub to be notified by an even when the submission has finished, rather than by polling the JES log. In our testing, especially for short running jobs, which make up the majority of our test suite, we have fou...

    Add support to zoautil_py.datasets & zoautil_py.zoau_io to be given a DD as parameter, instead of having to hardcode the dataset name: In the JCL: //DDIN DD DSN=XXXX.YYYY.ZZZZ,DISP=SHR In the Python code: datasets.read('//DDIN') instead of: da...
