I have a job given below:
| Code: |
//... JOB JOBCARD
//SET VAR1=1
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=MYPGM,PARM='&VAR1'
|
My requirement is as following:
I need to compare the value of the variable VAR1 with a data present in a file through REXX program. Say I have a file INDD and the fifth character of the file should be compared with the variable VAR1. If both are equal then continue with the STEP1 else it should display some message and exit out of the job without processing step1. |

how is this post related to the one I replied to earlier...
did I just waste time on it ??
You asked <something> and You got a clear/understandable reply... what else??
until You clarify better Your requirement You will get very little help...
the only thing that can be evinced from Your jcl is that the ...
program MYPGM will receive as a parameter the content of the VAR1 <symbol>
did You get a physician' s prescription to do something in rexx
what if some records contain the inFamous 5th char and others don' t ??
plese please do not ask to waste time with obscure questions |

sry for wasting your time...
my actuall requirement is:
We compile our cobol programs by giving "TSO CMPL" option and after giving this option a new screen comes.
In that screen we need to give some sort of inputs like program name,language type,mode(online,batch),DB2 option etc..
So, if some body gives wrong input like inplace of online program he gives batch then the program gets compiled wasting lot of our time.
I have prepared a list of programs and their modes in a ps file and i need to compare the program mode present in the file with the program
mode set in the SET variable.After that the rest is mentioned in my above post....
please assist me...
Thanks,
Abhijit. |

any reason to ask for the <program mode> and check afterwards
skip asking the user and use the info provided in the file |

Of course. It would be passed as a PARM to your REXX exec:
| Code: |
//STEP0 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01 or PGM=IRXJCL,PARM='EXECNAME &VAR1'
//SYSPROC or SYSEXEC DD DISP=SHR,DSN=...
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD DUMMY
