Hi,

How to insert a new line in a JCL using REXX. I need sample code for this.

If JCl is as shown below....

//SOMP0001 JOB (11111,TEST,PROG1),'SOMP0001',
// CLASS=7,
// MSGCLASS=X,
........

//*

Now i need to insert a line with NOTIFY=&SYSUID as shown below using REXX

//SOMP0001 JOB (11111,TEST,PROG1),'SOMP0001',
// CLASS=7,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID,
// MSGCLASS=X,
........
//*

There are examples of doing inserts and deletes on the forum.

saagu, you read the first line, thern write it out. You read the second line, then write it out. You create a new third line, then write it out. From there, you just read and write every other line until you reach the end.

Personally, I think youd be better off editing the file and easily inserting that new record.
