Hi,

i have a case in which i want to execute a step in a jcl more than once.
i.e.) i have 5 input files and i need to create 5 output files corressponding to each input files using the same easytrieve program.

Here's the jcl step:

//P020 EXEC PGM=EZTPA00,REGION=4M,TIME=(15,00),COND=(0,NE)
//*
//EZTVFM DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(100,20),RLSE)
//*
//FILEIN DD DSN=INPUT.FILE.1,DISP=SHR
//*
//FILEOUT DD DSN=OUTPUT.FILE.1,
// DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=DISK,SPACE=(CYL,(10,20),RLSE),
// DCB=(LRECL=122,DSORG=PS,RECFM=FB)
//*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//DISPFILE DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DSN=AAA.BBB.CCC(EZTVPGM1),DISP=SHR
//*

Someone please help me on this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Either process 5 files in your single Easytreive program. Or you have to execute this program in 5 steps as your input file is different in each case.

Please correct me if I am worng.

Hello,

Your requirement would work well if you made a PROCedure for this step and used a symbolic parameter for the .n part of the dsn.

The jobstream would execute this proc 5 times with different .n value for each execution.
