Hi,
I wanted to override a dataset in the SAS step. I've a proc with STEP010 as the SAS program(STEP010 EXEC K9337SAS). Here there is a DDNAME DD1. In my test job I want to override this DDname with a test dataset name. But I'm not able to do this as we normally do for other steps. i.e, if I use
| Quote: |
| STEP010.DD1 DD DSN=<new dataset name>, |
it gives me a JCL error saying STEP010 not found. As a temporary solution, I've changed the proc directly. But I need to do this very often and hence would like to know if there is any solution for this.
Thanks & Regds,
Ramya |

| Changing the proc the way you did IS the only solution. As has been pointed out time and again in other posts, you can't provide an override for a nested proc from the job. The override can only be provided by the caller of the nested proc (K9337SAS) , in your case your proc. |

If I well understand, the override you are doing is pointed to the name of the step in your jcl!(STEP010 EXEC K9337SAS)
For a well override you must specify the stepname of your proc and not that in your jcl!
Assume that proc K9337SAS has within one step:
| Code: |
//K9337SAS PROC
//SAS810 EXEC PGM=SASXA1
//DD01 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DSNSTD |
to override the name of your DD you must use this:
| Code: |
//STEP010 EXEC K9337SAS
//SAS810.DD01 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DSNNEW |

Hi Ramya,
I believe in your case the following override in your PROC should work...
//STEP10.K9337SAS.DD1 DD DSN=<new data set name >,DISP=.......
Please check this as now on my system SAS is not installed but I remember doing this long back.
regards,
David. |

| By the way, in my opinion, I think it's a horribly bad JCL coding standard to use step names like "//STEPxxx" in a PROC. I would imagine that this would make production support of the job(s) more difficult down the road, instead of using a standard like "//STEPxxx" for the jobs and "//PROCxxx" for the proc's. |

Hello,
I wanted to override a dataset in the SAS step. I've a proc with PPSCO20 as the SAS program(PPSCO20 EXEC SAS). Here I have a SYSIN DD DSN=DDname. In my test job I want to override this DDname with a test dataset name. But I'm not able to do this as we normally do for other steps. i.e, if I use
| Quote: |
| //PPSCO20.SYSIN DD DSN=Datasetname |
it doesn't work. The error I get is
| Quote: |
| IEFC023I SYSIN OVERRIDE ERROR |
The issues is similar to Ramya's.I tried using responses above but didn't work either. One of our senior designer has been trying to figure out to overide a SAS proc since long but could find one. So when I saw this post I got curious if anyone has solution for this.
Please advise if anyone has a solution.
Thanks, |

| Can you post the full JCL and the messages output? |

From APAR OA06500:
| Quote: |
Error description
The following procedure receives message IEFC023I...
//TESTPROC PROC
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//STEP2 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
// PEND
//*
//RUN EXEC TESTPROC
//STEP1.SYSIN DD *
LISTC ENT('SYS1.PARMLIB')
//STEP2.SYSIN DD *
LISTC ENT('SYS1.PARMLIB')
//*
Local fix
Either remove the SYSIN DD DUMMY or add it to all previous Job
Steps.

If this isn't your issue, you'll need to post the JCL expansion and full set of output messages as Bill said. |

Ramya,
Take a look at the following 2007 NESUG paper
Passing PARM data from JCL to SAS
www.nesug.org/proceedings/nesug07/po/po13.pdf
You are not using traditional JCL override method but instead you are using macro variables. On the EXEC card you would supply the name of your data set to the macro variable. I hope this helps.

Hi,
My JCL is as follows. Our company standards are to define all required steps in a proc rather than JCL. Each jcl calls one or many procs.
| Quote: |
//JOBNAME JOB (SP-AP93),AP,CLASS=P,MSGCLASS=A
/*JOBPARM R=XM04X,PROCLIB=PROC63
//*LOGONID XXX
//XXXXSCO EXEC XXXXSCO,
// CNTLDSN='XXX.XXX.XXXXX.CTLCARDS',
// FTPPARM='SERVER',
// FTPRCHK='XXXX',
// GEN1='(+1)',
// ILVL1='PAP',
// ILVL2='XXXXXX',
// MODL=PAP.MODEL,
// OLVL1='PAP',
// OLVL2='XXXXXX',
// XXSCO20='XXSCO20',
// SASDSN='XXX.XXX.XXXXX.SAS',
// UNIT10A='PROD,SPACE=(TRK,(5,1),RLSE)',
|
My proc is as follows, I have included only the required part instead of copying the proc.
| Quote: |
//XXSCO20 EXEC SAS,
// COND=(0,NE)
//SYSIN DD DSN=&SASDSN(XXXXDSN),
// DISP=SHR
//FTPCRDI DD DSN=&CNTLDSN(&XXSCO20),
// DISP=SHR
//FTPCRDO DD DSN=out dd name,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=&UNIT20A,
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=0)
//ABORTMSG DD SYSOUT=*
|
I would like to run the JCL will the following overrides in test before implementing
| Quote: |
//XXSCO20.FTPCRDI DD *
cd xyzzzz
put 'XXX.XXXXXX.XXX.REPORT(0)' test_file@.csv
quit
/*
//XXSCO20.SYSIN DD DSN=YYYY.YYYY.YYYY(XXXDSN) |
Please let me know of any of you have ideas regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance |

You can't. You are not supposed to do so. Either your company's standards are badly written, or you are misinterpreting them (note that, in your example, SAS is a proc), or both. |

Hi Akatsukami,
I know SAS is a proc. I wanted to know it a SAS proc step can be overridden in a JCL. If it can't be done that's fine. If there is a way to do that then it I would like to know.
Thanks, |

The examples in z/OS V1R12.0 MVS JCL Reference seem fairly clear that what you want to do cannot be done.
As I said, SAS is itself a proc. If your shop's standards require you to encapsulate SAS in another proc, then those standards do not conform to reality (feel free to tell them that I said so). Otherwise, do not attempt to do so. |

GREEN STAR:
Looking at your code I initially did not realize that your DD name that you want to override refers to your SAS source code. That being the case I think you can use the SASPGM symbolic parameter along with the PARM statement.
First replace &SASDSN(XXXXDSN) with the SAS symbolic parameter &SASPGM
Second, add the following to your EXEC SAS statement
PARM=('SYSPARM="YYYY.YYYY.YYYY(XXXDSN)" ')
You can then delete your
//XXSCO20.SYSIN DD DSN=YYYY.YYYY.YYYY(XXXDSN) statement
The PARM statement will provide the SASPGM parameter value to SAS.
