Specifying a dataset for SYSPRINT -compiling in Changeman

Hi,
I wanna do an indexed report generation(Option5) in STROBE. However, when i looked into the tutorial, it says "To execute a STROBE Indexer program, you need a SYSPRINT data set from a source
code compilation, assembly, or 4GL source listing utility.
If you do not have one, override the SYSPRINT data definition in your
compile, assembly, or 4GL source listing utility procedure to create
a permanent data set, and recompile or reassemble your source code. ".

I guess this means ive to compile the program and specify an output dataset for SYSPRINT.

I tried modifying the JCL which comes in the Changeman "STAGE: COMPILE AND LINK EDIT" screen, but failed in the attempt.

Can anyone suggest how to specify a dataset to put the SYSPRINT messages into while compiling a COBOL program using Changeman?

Hello and welcome to the forum,

What did you try? What exactly happened?

Posting "it failed" provides nothing for someone to use to help you. . .

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response.. I modified the JCL which comes in the Changeman "STAGE: COMPILE AND LINK EDIT" screen changing it from
//jobid JOB (job),'CHANGE MAN',
// CLASS=0,
// NOTIFY=user,
// MSGCLASS=0

to
//jobid JOB (job),'CHANGE MAN',
// CLASS=0,
// NOTIFY=user,
// MSGCLASS=0
//SYSPRINT DD DSN='USER.TEMP.SYSPRINT'
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=200,BLKSIZE=0),
// DATACLAS=DCCOMP,BUFNO=20,
// SPACE=(CYL,(200,100),RLSE)

hoping that the SYSPRINT records would get stored in the file i'd specified. However i got the JCL Error saying
"2 IEFC019I MISPLACED DD STATEMENT "

Can you kindly help me out on this?

did You look at the message meaning... for IEFC019I

www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/index.html
You can use the LookAT to search directly for the message

hint... You just cannot insert a DD statement at random in a jcl stream
JCL has it' s rules and You must follow them;
the best suggestion we can give You is...
get proper training

Hi,
Can you help me out in getting the SYSPRINT data into a dataset? Is there any other way? Currently, after compilation, i see the SYSPRINT data in the spool... The JCL space in Changeman allows only 4 lines for the JCL(hence the desperate action of including the Sysprint step) .. The default JCL which appears in the space is as i mentioned in my earlier post..

Is there an easier method to do an indexed report generation in strobe?[/img]

You see Enrico, what you get back for your effort giving an answer?

wouldn' t it be faster to ask inside Your organization? certainly yes...
( rhetoric question and answer

)

to plug a statement in open code ( straight jcl ) is something anybody can do

to override a statement in a procedure is something that needs a bit more knowledge about the surrounding environment

ask Your support... ( performance, and changeman)
performance analysis is something that should receive full support from Your organization

Hi Enrico..
Finally managed to run the indexed strobe

.. I did the following ..

1. Copied the compiler listing to a local PS (since strobe couldnt process the VB file which the listing is)
2. Ran the Strobe indexed performance profile ..

Now i'm able to find out which part of the program is taking excess CPU .. Thanks a lot for your quick response to my queries ..
