Hi @ArulDBA, if you could use code tags going forward we can be sure that indentation is correct on source. There are a number of inconsistencies in what has been shared, so bare with me while I explain what I am seeing.
If so, Should you want to use the shell command, here is an example with the Ansible command module, you will have to substitute the As I noted above, we have module zos_mvs_raw that should be used instead.
In your playbook you should change: For: The LIBPATH in the playbook which is: Either you have another source for environment variables, e.g. It would be safer if you use the non-production template for playbooks here. It will require a minor edit, which I made for you below, in fact you could run this playbook as I have written it. I would avoid gather_facts for now by setting it to I hope this gets you further. |

I would next try to enable Then try a task from the Maybe even one from If this all works, then we can close this discussion. |

Hello @ddimatos We got a suggestion from tectia & SSH.com to disable ansible pipelining and try. We disabled pipelining in ansible playbook, and it works as expected. Tectia is looking into why pipelining is not working but we can close this discussion. |
