BSPFCOOK - The Fortune Cookie Program

What does it do?

This program displays my little sleeping cat and a randomly selected fortune cookie. It can be run in a batch job, from a started task, as a function of the autopilot BSPPILOT, and as a TSO command. It is known to the system under various names/aliases:

• BSPFCOOK
• COOKIE
• MURPHY

Required DD names

none

Optional DD names

Assembly and Link JCL can be found in SYS1.SETUP.CNTL(FCOOK$).
Execution JCL can be found in SYS1.SETUP.CNTL(FCOOK#) and looks like this:

 A budget is spending $15.00 on gas to drive to a
 shopping mall to save $4.30 on a 20 pound turkey.
