How can include a JCL statement in a REXX

Hi,

In CLIST, we can submit a JCL statement as shown:
SUBMIT * END($$)
//&SYSUID1 JOB &ACCT,&SYSUID,CLASS=&CLASS,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
/&SLSHASK THIS STEP COPIES THE INPUT DATASET TO SYSOUT=A
//COPY EXEC PGM=COPYDS
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=&SYSUID.&DSN,DISP=SHR;
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=A
$$

Can I do this in REXX too!!

Thanks.
Guido

Yes, pretty much the same way:

? I don't think -no test here - that will resolve //&SYSUID1, /&SLSHASK, &CLASS, and also $$ is not part of the JCL to be submitted.

Hi,
you must change &sysuid1 to something like userid() ,&class= eg. to class which was previously assigned to a valid class in the system and so on.there is no & usage in rexx as like clist except for ispf services!.
anyhow this topic was previously discussed in other topic and you can find them through a simple search!

Everyone's right. I missed all those & variables in the JCL code. Yes, they would have to be coded differently as REXX variables.

After remark, now the solution : a similar way is to use a skeleton in which symbolic variables can be resolved and via -by memory -
