Hi,

I have a requirement of submiting a REXX code through JCL. I need to check a condition in it, based on that i have to cancel the job which has submitted it by taking the Job number. Can you please help me to get the Job number of the JCL which has submitted it(REXX code)?

Your requirement is confusing

what do you mean by "SUBMITTING"

do You have two jobs or what You call submitting is just the execution of a rexx script inside one job..

1) two jobs ... it' s illogic/wrong call it any way You want
to expect that the father ( submitter ) will sit there waiting to be canceled
--- the process is chose one -a)wrong b)badly described

2) one job with a step executing a rexx script,
in this case the best thing to do is to exit with a return code and put a "cond"
on the subsequent steps
