Is there any jcl utility to run the jcl commands in sysin card.
Assume that my sysin card has the JCL statement."// SET VAR=1".
Can I execute that statement using one utility in run time. |

| I do not know of a utility for this but if you put it in a member of a PDS you could include it into the JCL. |

What would some utility accomplish? SET is another jcl statement that you could include in the job to have the value set.

// SET would not be "in" a "sysin card".
It may help if you post a more complete description/example of what you want to do. |

| Add an appropriate jobcard and a step and you could route the contents of the sysin to the JES Internal Reader for execution. Don't know what you're looking to get out of doing that, though. |

Initially the value of the var is set to 01 using "// SET VAR=01"
In third step the value of the var is changed to '03'(it will assign dynamically) in the cobol program execution step.
After the 3rd step , i have to assign the var value as '03'
Is it possible to assign a value to the jcl variable dynamically?
Is it possible to pass the value to jcl from cobol? |

If in step third it's already set to "03", unless you change it - it should be same in the subsequent steps...
PS. By the way why such a big font there? |

| Once set, the variable is inplace until end of job. It can not be updated dynamically. |
