REXX to XDC Job output to Dataset .

Hello All ,

I have searched the forum for my requirement and i am not able to found the correct solution .

I want to create a REXX utility which should be invoked at the time of job submission , so that all the spool output of the job saves into a dataset .
Given below is the spool of a completed job i want XDC all the SYSPRINT/SYSOUT to a dataset.

JESMSGLG JES2
JESJCL JES2
JESYSMSG JES2
SYSPRINT YYYYDAY P00RPL
SYSOUT XXXBDAY TCPO502

I do not want to modify jobs to include extra steps. It should be like that when we SUB the job we enter SUB TSO XDC . So that REXX will be activated to take XDC of the o/p.

NOTE :- Please not i want to save output of STEP like SYSOUT (inside) not the print of spool.

Thanks In advance .

OK, so why would you want an XDC of the job before it executes, or just as soon as it starts to execute ?

I want XDC to be start at the end of JOB but doing XDC several time manaully (to XDC all the Steps) i want that should be taken care by REXX to save all the step output to PDS

Then it looks like either you change the jobs to add a final step, or continue to do it manually.

Do you not have a spool collector like SAR, or whatever to automatically do this ?

Thanks Expat ,

Atleast can we discuss here to create a rexx that will XDC all the steps of Job to a PDS .

Just another alternative, consider adding a SDSF step?

Anuj ,

I have gone through this earlier and this relates to take a print of the SDSF screen not the output of step.

I want to XDC output of any step of JOB .
Suppose a job have SYSout . I want to create a member(SYSOUT) in a PDS which should contain output of SYSOUT.

regards

Use the REXX to SDSF interface:

To make it more clear let me explain it again .

A job went sucessfull which is present in spool . This job contains 100 steps .

I want to xdc output of all 100 steps into a pds . if i am going it to do manually i have to type XDC 100 time in front of the job .

Using REXX I just want to enter JOBNAME And JOBID and XDC all steps of this JCL into PDS.

Is this possible ?

The solution of using SDSF in batch to capture output from jobs has been discussed many times on the forum.
