HI,
Can anyone please help me out in finding the MAXCC value of the JCL submitted through a REXX. means, the REXX submits a JCL and it has to wait for its return code to process further. Please provide a sample code.
Thank you. |

Point 1 - DO NOT ask for code without showing any effort of your own, unless you are willing to pay for it. My rate is 750 euro per day or part thereof for tested and documented code. This is a HELP forum, not a DO IT FOR ME forum.
Point 2 - This has been discussed quite a few times and the forum does come with a search facility.
Point 3 - The general concensus is that you DO NOT pause a process to wait for another to finish. You plan and implement a correct solution. Unless of course that your employers are happy with you wasting resources and work time.

Expat, I agree that TSO user should not submit job and wait for completion, especially for long running tasks (say, something running for more than 5 seconds of elapsed time).
But there are plenty of utilities that run quickly. In those instances, I do not submit a job, but from rexx, I allocate the files required and call the utility program directly. |

Pedro, yes I also do that where possible, but as the OP has told us absolutely nothing about the whole process (as seems to be the norm rather than the exception), it may not be safe to advise this as there may be tapes involved.
In the link I provided above, we got to post 6 of the thread before we actually discovered that the submitted batch job also populated the file which was earlier said it only allocated.
Getting information from the posters is like pulling teeth ................ but then again, have you seen how much dentists charge these days  |

Not even with my psychic powers can I see line 19.
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, wouldn't care to actually post some code would you.
Error on line 19 is about as good as saying it didn't work.
Have a think about what you post. If you do want help then think about what people will need to see to be able to help you 
Also, is this foreground or batch, if batch we also need to see the JCL |

Do you really mean that you use a product called OSDA to access the spool, or is it actually a replacement for the JES spool.
Who markets this tool. |

This is why you need to give as much useful information in your question as possible. You have people chasing around for answers that can't possibly work on your system. You are running JES3 and trying to use SDSF calls. SDSF only supports JES2. In future, please supply as much relevant information as possible. As you can see, people on this board are very frustrated at having to guess what people are trying to ask. It is OK to not know what to ask -- that is why you are asking -- but having messages that refer to line numbers and not showing the source, having basic system information (JES2 vs JES3) and not revealing it, and using uncommon acronymns (OSDA? Google doesn't give a clue) is not a good way to get answers. Help us to help you.
And in this case, heed the design warnings. Having a foreground program wait for a batch job is generally bad practice -- what if your job doesn't start for an hour or two? |

Hello,

Suggest you also be concerned that what you want to do is not a good thing to do. . . No matter how it is asked.
What you have said you want to do (submit a job and wait so that the maxcc can be checked when the run completes) is not acceptable on most systems. . .
If you clearly explain what you are really trying to do (which business requirement), someone may have a suggestion. |

It is not just your question, but some people have asked you questions and you do not answer them. For those trying to provide help, it is frustrating that you do not provide responses.h |
