Hi,
After searching the forum and not getting the answer  , I am posting my query in this forum.
We are moving from MVS Infopac Report Distribution to Web Infopac Report Distribution.
Each Platform (Unix,AS400 etc) sends a flat file Report to Mainframe and a job loads that report in Infopac.
Current Setup:
There is one generic Proc used to load the file in Infopac called in JCL.
and a overide step in JCL itself (Jcl snapshot below).
| Code: |
//EXEC0010 EXEC OLINFOP,
// INPAGE1='MY.INFOPAC.VSAM',
// LAB='EXPDT=99000',
// INPAKY1='&&TEMP99',
// PARM1='PARM1',
// PARM2='PARM2',
// SPC1='',
// UNIT=CART
//*
//STEP0020.REPORT1 DD DSN=MY.REPORT.RPT1(0),
// DISP=SHR
//STEP0020.REPORT2 DD DSN=MY.REPORT.RPT2(0),
// DISP=SHR
//STEP0020.REPORT3 DD DSN=MY.REPORT.REPT3(0),
// DISP=SHR
|
| Code: |
1. First parm contains a Forced ReportID and the Report ID.
##FILE INPUT 01 REPORT1-F REPORT1
##FILE INPUT 01 REPORT2 REPORT2
##FILE INPUT 01 REPORT3-M REPORT3
|
2. Second parm contain VSAM file to copy the report which needs to be loaded.
| Code: |
DELETE -
MY.INFOPAC.VSAM -
PURGE
SET MAXCC=0
DEFINE CLUSTER -
(NAME(MY.INFOPAC.VSAM) -
MODEL(MY.INFOPAC.MODEL.VSAM) -
CYLINDERS(148 1) -
VOLUMES(*))
|
Requirement:
Since there are many jobs which call this generic proc, we would like a new FTP step to be added to this proc and FTP the report file to windows.
Issue:
The name of the data set and the report ID is passed from JCL to current proc. How can I add the step to the current proc to get the file name and the report ID without changing any JCL's and FTP it to Windows server? |

How? Through variables?

This is where you've lost me. Where would the file name and the report ID come from?
If you're asking what I think you're asking, presumably you already know that variables defined within the JCL can only be referenced within the JCL. If you want to use variables elsewhere, such as part of the input to a program or utility, then you must have a program that can process the variables and write out their actual value to a dataset, which can then be passed onto another step and read as input. |

Thanks for reply Kevin.
The name of the datasets which I want to FTP are defined in the JCL itself as shown in my EXEC (Also show above) step e.g.:
STEP0020 is the step of Report loading PROC.
| Code: |
//STEP0020.REPORT1 DD DSN=MY.REPORT.RPT1(0),
// DISP=SHR |
so my report file name is MY.REPORT.RPT1(0)
Report ID is forced ID( Report ID on report file can be different than the actual report id used for loading report). This Forced report ID and Report ID is defined in the Parmlib (PARM1) eg:
FORCED REPORT ID -->REPORT1-F
REPORT ID -->REPORT1
| Code: |
| ##FILE INPUT 01 REPORT1-F REPORT1 |
My current aim is to FTP the file MY.REPORT.RPT1 to a window server where it would go and sit as REPORT1-F.TXT (may be timestamp added to file name).
Since all my report loading jobs calls generic proc. I would like to add a FTP step to generic proc so that it is minimal change.
So I need to somehow read the file name (which need to be FTPed) and the report ID from Parmlib.
Please let me know if it makes things clear for you. |

Hello and welcome to the forum,
I am probably misunderstanding something, but why not read this "Parmlib (PARM1)" and create/modify some member that has all of the ftp commands and you put in the info from PARM1?
Instead on inserting only an ftp step, you would insert a step to create the ftp member also.
As i mentioned, i may be missing something. . . |

What PGM should i use to read this Parm?
Also if i need to create a new member, then I have 100's of JCL for each reports for which I would need to create a new member which I don't want.
Another issue will be how to read the Report file name which i have to FTP present in the EXEC step.
Do I need to use some ezytrieve or any other program to achieve this? |

Your choice, but i'd suggest using a language you are familiar and comfortable using.

Use the language you know best.

You could have 1 jcl and 1 pds. In a pds member would be ftp statements for that transmission.
Suggest you move forward working thru the mechanics of transwmitting a single file and then expand the process to do multiple transmissions. |

Thanks for replying.
But still my question was since it is a parm ,how to read it since its not a file in my program.
I was planning to use ezytrieve.
How many steps will possibly be needed to be added to proc to accomplish this?

| How to read the file name (MY.REPORT.RPT1)? |
If you could tell me how to read the Parm1 and then the file name (MY.REPORT.RPT1) from the JCL, it would be great.
Also is there any secure way of sending the File from M/F to FTP? |
