A problem with FTINCL service

rohitcognizant · Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2007 12:14 pm

hi i tried to tailor 2 jcls one is a jobcard and another a jcl
but i found that whennever there is a line in the jcl like
// if rc > 0
or if rc<2
the lines after this line were not being included ..why is that is there any solution to this???

the code for including was

address tso
"alloc da('userid.file.submit') dd(ispfile) shr reu"
"ftincl jobcard"
"ftincl jcl2"
"ftclose"

the jcl (jcl2) had a line like rc >0 i found that the line after the jcl were not being included for submission.
then i changed the jcl file to another one (jcl3) which did not have this step .that jcl was fully included .why is it so???

The signs '>' and '<' have special meaning in ISPF skeletons. To use them in your data records, simply double each sign (for example: RC >>0).

For more info, please refer to the fine manual.

ok so if i have understood it correctly,then replacing rc>0 with rc>>>0 will do the trick..does that mean that in the finally tailored jcl i will get the statement as rc>0 itself???

and one more question ...for this shouldnt i overlay every > or < sign by >> or << right???

The tailoring process will remove any two consecutive '<'s from your data records, and the final result will include only one.

You should replace any special characters in your data records only.
