Purge jobs through REXX

Hi Friends,

I need to purge the job in SDSF.

When i try to use the below command, i could not able to purge

ADDRESS TSO "CANCEL "JNAME.I"("JOBID.I") PURGE"

Error message - "JOBNAME SHOULD BE USERID PLUS ATLEAST 1 CHARACTER".

Then i tried the below code to get the job name and Purge

/* REXX */
TCB = PTR(540)
TIOT= PTR(TCB+12)
JobNAM= STG(TIOT,8)
StepNAM= STG(TIOT+8,8)
ProcNAM = STG(TIOT+16,8)
JSCB= PTR(TCB+180)
ProgNAM= STG(JSCB+360,8)
SSIB= PTR(JSCB+316)
JobNUM= STG(SSIB+12,8)

SAY 'JOB NAME:' JobNAM
SAY 'PROC STEP NAME:' ProcNAM
SAY 'STEP NAME :' StepNAM
SAY 'PROGRAM NAME:' ProgNAM
SAY 'JOB NUMBER:' JobNUM
EXIT(0)
PTR: RETURN C2D(STORAGE(D2X(ARG(1)),4))
STG: RETURN STORAGE(D2X(ARG(1)),ARG(2))

Still i could not able purge. the command always expects the job name should be USERID + 1 character.

I tried the below code, but still i could not able to execute.

rc=isfcalls(”ON”)
Address SDSF “ISFEXEC ST”
do ix=1 to JNAME.0
if pos(“KEN”,JNAME.ix) = 1 then
Address SDSF “ISFACT ST TOKEN(‘”TOKEN.ix”’) PARM(NP P)”
rc=isfcalls(“OFF”)

i am getting an error message like
"END OF FILE ON CLIST INPUT OCCURRED BEFORE ALL DO STMTS WERE CLOSED"

Let me know whether i am following the right process.

Thanks

Assuming you have the authority to purge a job, why can't you (C)ancel it or (P)urge it as a line command on the SDSF screen instead of submitting a REXX program to do it?

Or may be block purge (//P..//P) if there are multiple jobs to be purged..

also notice that your message says that it is interpreting your code as a CLIST, not as Rexx. add the /* Rexx */ comment as the 1st line.
