JMR Options in JCL

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know what JMROPTION in JCL will give the sysout dataset also? To give a history, I want to develop a REXX tool which will read the sysout (no dataset) and will compare the counts with the counts in JAVA side. I though of creating a JCL to submit a batch job for the same through REXX but the problem is that the existing set of JMROPTIONS only display me the run date and the condition code.

Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Manikant

Note: I am not sure if this Topic should go under the REXX discussion as this is a mix of both REXX and JMR.

The value(s) given for JMROPTN refer(s) to member name(s) in the dataset allocated under DDNAME OPTIONS. These are customisable, so I suggest you talk to the team/person responsible for supporting JMR at your site.

Cheers.

Thanks Peter!

The thing is that I know the DD Name, Member name and also I have the list of JMR options, but not sure which JMR option will need a change to view the SYSOUT.

Though it is having a option SYSOUT = 0 (Default) which I changed to 1 but it was of no use.

Regards
Manikant

Hi Peter,

My objective is to write a tool for getting the Sysout for a given Job from JMR. I thought of writing a tool to submit the batch Job for getting the sysout and then put the count in a file. I used the same JCL which is mentioned in your previous post and thr output which I recived was just a summary of the JMR report like

CMD Jobname Jobno Date Time System Error Highest Sysout
Cond Code Print lines
CPD104H 72033 09/02/05 00:00:40 SYTE 1000 1,168

From here on if you want to see the sysout you need to look inside this. so i though if there is any way to get the SYSOUT info along with this by changing some of the JMR options.

Also, the change to the JMR options was not made in the standard library but in a copy of the same in my personal PDS so no worries there.

If not this then probably I will try to read the JMR Daily log file using REXX and get the things done but this will take more time as the Daily Log file will be Huge.

Hokay.. When you mentioned "put the count in a file" I thought you were after the Sysout Print Lines number - the only count automatically associated with a JMR display.

Hmmm..

Try:
//RECALL EXEC CAPKSCAN
//JMRIN DD *
FUNCTION DATE=yyydd,JOBNAME=CPD104H
//

Output goes to DDNAME JMRPRINT if memory serves!

Cheers!

This is not making any differnce execpt that earlier we use to get entire list (LIST=ALL) but now we are getting only DATE. I think this is possible only by changing some of the JMR Options.

Damned peculiar... the manual clearly states:

Specify one or more of the remaining parameters, depending on whether you want to print a particular job or a job selection list:

To print a particular job, identify that job with the JOB parameter,
the JOBNAME parameter, or both.

1) Give it a try with JOB=jobnumber, and/or JOBNAME=CPD104H
2) Check the SDSF output and make sure you're getting something out against DDNAME JMRPRINT - ie; make sure it's not getting whisked away to JMR or an autodeleted class...

Cheers.

In fact, since you want to poke around in the output anyway, try adding a specific //JMRPRINT DD statement to your JCL and lets see what we can catch!

Dataset attributes should be:

Note: Output from retrievals is written to a CAPKSCAN DD statement
named JMRPRINT. JMRPRINT defaults to a SYSOUT file, however, you can
redirect this DD statement to a data set having the DCB attributes of
RECFM=FBA, LRECL=133, BLKSIZE=6118.

Cheers.
