Hi,
I want to use the Refer back in dataset name as show below inside a PROC,
| Code: |
//PROCTEST PROC ENV=G
// PGMI=AB765,
// DIVA=SORTED.AF,
// DIVE=SORTED.GE,
// DIVP=SORTED |
And inside the sorting step I am using those refer back as follows
| Code: |
//S100 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN1 DD DSN=&ENV..AB.&PGMI..ABUGIV.B4.&DIVA(0),
// DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=&ENV..AB.&PGMI..ABUGIV.B4.&DIVE(0),
// DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=GRT.XX.XX.GDG.OUT(+1),
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// DCB=(LRECL=396,RECFM=FB),
// SPACE=(CYL,(200,200),RLSE),
// UNIT=SYSDA
//SYSIN DD DSN=GRT.XXXX.XX,DISP=SHR |
But the above code is not recognizing the Dataset. Please help me on this to proceed further. |

Why do you believe that you want to use referback? You have not posted a referback. . .
If you answer the questions Expat asked, your answer will soon follow. . . |

Hi All,
Sorry for the thing. I am using Symbolic Parm Concept here.
I am expecting just the sorted results in my output dataset, But i want to know whether can i use the multiple symbolic parameter to refer the dataset as shown in the code.
| Code: |
//SORTIN1 DD DSN=&ENV..AB.&PGMI..ABUGIV.B4.&DIVA(0),
// DISP=SHR |
Thanks in advance to all,
Senthil. |

Hi Chandan,
Could you please let us know the syntax if i want to use the symbolic parameter in the middle of some stmt.
//SORTIN1 DD DSN=&ENV..AB.&PGMI..ABUGIV.B4.&DIVA,
// DISP=SHR
Here &PGMI is coming in the middle so i reffered is as &PGMI.(following by .), but jcl is not recoganizing it. So please let me know how to use this here. |

JCL not recognising it is abaout as useful as a chocolate tea pot |

Hello,
It is rather common to use multiple symbolic parameters on the same jcl statement. . .
| Code: |
//MYSTUFF DD DSN=MY.&C.STUFF.A&CEN.&RUNYYMM,DISP=OLD
|
The "trick" is to know when you might need a double-period so that one is the "terminator" for the symbolic and the other is kept in the statement as a dsn node separator.
As was mentioned before - you need to post your jcl and the actual output when the proc expands. |
