Hello,

Please clarify what you mean by "the expanded part of a JCL". An example would be good.

I also do not know what "make data" means and how that relates to finding manually.

Hi Dick,

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say the O/P wants to be able to scan the JCL as well as the procs contained in the JCL member.

The second part again another stab in the dark, the O/P is trying to say,
instead of making do (To manage to get along with the means available)

Hi Gerry,

Maybe so. . . We'll see.

@nayak,
Once a string is "found", how will it be used?

If we understand wnat you want to accomplish (rather than "find a string") we may be able to offer more usable suggestions.

Hi ,

When we do any JCL Syntax Check tool like JJ,JSCAN or JEM on a JCL, the proc will get expanded and will prompt if there is any syntax errors.

//JOb jobname....
//step1 exec proc1
proc1 expanded part here
//step2 exec proc2
proc2 expanded part here..

If do a simple find . it will find only in the JCL .It will not scan the expanded part. Now my requirement is to find in the Expanded part . Can this be acheived through any command.

Ofcourse we can find that in a different way by Making MD .. line command (make data ) all the JCL and the expanded part and then do a find we can able to acheive it .

But iam unable to use the Line commands inside the Macro

any idea to acheive this using a macro

Thanks

Hello,

Now i believe we better understand what you meant by "expanded". This would include replacing symbolic parameters with the run-time values, right?

When you search the expanded jcl and fnd a string, what is to happen then?

nayak,
no easy way to do MD automatically. You need to do that manually with line command MD99999 but after that, an edit macro can do the finds and whatever else you need. See the ISPF doc or google. Better also to do this in View instead of Edit so you don't accidentally save the data.

Hi Anuj,

This will not happen frequently ... This happens very rarely in my case .. once for every 5 to 6 years. As the JCLS are in more in number , it was planned to do in this way.

Please share your idea... if you have

Thanks
