Hi
I would like to know whether it is possible to convert SYSIN data to dataset and execute the JOB. Ex
| Code: |
//STEP0200 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=@PLIN42.TEST.FILE1,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=@PLIN42.TEST.OFILE1,
// DISP=(,CATLG),SPACE=(TRK,(5,1),RLSE),UNIT=D,
// DCB=(LRECL=10,BLKSIZE=0,RECFM=FB)
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC FIELDS=(1,3,5,2)
//*
|
From the above Jcl , I wanted to convert SYSIN parameter(OPTION COPY AND INREC FIELDS=(1,3,5,2) to dataset or a contorl card and execute the same JCL. Will it possible ? 
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks |

| Yes, just put it in a dataset or pds member with a lrecl=80 and change the "//sysin dd *" to "//sysin dd dsn=dataset,disp=shr". |

Probably its time for you to learn basics of JCL.
Give a hit to Manuals tab and go through JCL manuals. |

| you can do that , this increase the performance of the job as u need not to change the job, you can just change the member name and things will be more simpler, in good practices its recommended to pass by member |

Hi Gerry ,
Performance in terms of its increases the modularity of the job and hence resulting in more flexible to change and and test. |

What a (expletive deleted) load of bullthis. More flexible to change? You still have to change the member that contains the sort statement, either its name in the JCL or its contents, so it actually makes things more difficult. |

| This definition of performing better (easier to use by a wide range of users in varied situations) is satisfied well if the step is made into a proc. Then the user simply overrides the SYSIN statement, and possibly other statements, with inline data or a data set. That is the whole reason for procs. So it is half right. |
