Hi..

I have a production JCL, Which is a daily job and its going 2 create a new ps file. For creating a new ps file how can i code disp parameter? Without changing the JCL or deleting the PS file (already created) how can i achieve the same?

Thanks

Hi..

Thanks for your reply..
If i use disp = mod...Then first day it will create new PS, during its second run it will append the records.
My requirement is used to create a new file (daily) without changing the JCL.

Thanks

Use CLIST

PROC 1 Cycle

CONTROL NOFLUSH NOMSG
FREE F(DDNAMES )

CONTROL NOMSG
ALLOC F(OFFLINE) DA (xxxx.xxx.&cycle) NEW RECFM(F B A) LRECL(133) UNIT(SYSDA) +
BLOCK(6118) SPACE(1000,1000) RETPD(6)

try this........

Pass your cycle parameter daily
like 01,02 ,03,04,05,06
it will create daily one output

Please corrcet me if I am wrong

Thanks

kalaignar_S,

First thing you can always code a step to delete the file before creating it. But if you dont want to code a DELETE step, give DISP Parameter to this file as such it'll delete it at the last step (where it is being referred) in case of NORMAL EXECUTION.
