Hi All,
My parameter "PARAMA" would contain a string value during some runs of JCL.
I have to skip steps if the parameter value is space.
I am trying to execute
IF &PARAMA NE ''
GOTO STEP005
But NE is not accepted by JCL.
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Muruganandham k |

I have experimented with the following but, it's an undocumented "feature" which could be fixed by IBM at anytime -
| Code: |
//VARS SET VALUE1=1,VALUE2=0
// IF &VALUE1=&VALUE2
|
What happens is VALUE1 resolves as 1 and VALUE2 resolves as 0 and in this example, the IF check would be false.
Otherwise, I can't resolve what you want to do because I've only experimented with numbers and equal-to conditions and I don't believe GOTO's are valid either.

Hello,
You could create a new "first step" that looks at the parm and sets the Return Code accordingly.
Then the remainder of the job simply uses the RC that was set. . . |

Thanks for the suggestions.
In my shop, I can use the following
|IF &ECHECK EQ ''
<JCL STEPS>
|ENDIF
But I have to set ECHECK before the job card
|SET &ECHECK=&&PARAMA
where &&PARAMA is a Scheduler variable.
Now I am able to achieve what I wanted, though not using NE condition. |
