Hi,
My job is executing a procedure 10 times and that procedure has 25 steps that means a total of 250 steps are present now for the job. Now due to requirement changes i added 2 steps to the procedure and due to this the number of steps for the job is now 270. So due to this the job is abending. Is there any way except splitting the job to handle this abend.
Thanks,
Abhijit. |

| Unfortunately not, it has to be split. |

Sometimes using IDCAMS helps solve this kind of problem.
In order to avoid an abend when creating a sam file that already exists, some installations require you to delete the file before creating it.
If you use a different step to delete each sam file, you can replace all of them for a single Idcams step.
The Idcams will use a card with several scratch commands in it, each one for one sam file you want to delete.
Check the example bellow:
Before:
| Code: |
//DELET1 EXEC PGM=SYS000,PARM='DATA-SET-NAME-1'
//DELET2 EXEC PGM=SYS000,PARM='DATA-SET-NAME-2'
//DELET3 EXEC PGM=SYS000,PARM='DATA-SET-NAME-3'
//*
//SORT EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN DD DSN=...
//SORTOF1 DD DSN=DATA-SET-NAME-1,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,)...
//SORTOF2 DD DSN=DATA-SET-NAME-2,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,)...
//SORTOF3 DD DSN=DATA-SET-NAME-3,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,)...
//SYSIN DD DSN=...
|
After:
| Code: |
//DELETE EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSIN DD DSN=CARDPDS(CARDDELE),DISP=SHR
//*
//SORT EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN DD DSN=...
//SORTOF1 DD DSN=DATA-SET-NAME-1,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,)...
//SORTOF2 DD DSN=DATA-SET-NAME-2,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,)...
//SORTOF3 DD DSN=DATA-SET-NAME-3,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,)...
//SYSIN DD DSN=...
|
Content of carddele:
| Code: |
SCRATCH DATA-SET-NAME-1
SCRATCH DATA-SET-NAME-2
SCRATCH DATA-SET-NAME-3
SET RETURN-CODE TO 0
|
In the example above, the files were initially deleted with an utility program named SYS000. It's a good program but can only scratch a file at a time.
Then, to reduce the total number of steps in the procedure, delet1/delet2/delet3 were replaced for one Idcams step only.
Please don't take into considerations any syntax mistakes. |

Hello,
Many (most?) jobs have a "housekeeping" step at the beginning that is either an IEFBR14 (using disp=mod to prevent dataset not found problems) or IDCAMS to delete datasets that will be created durint ghe run. There is no reason for there to be one step per file, unless more than housekeeping is going on.

Please don't post "solutions" that you don't have time/inclination to test when it is a solution that is trivial to test. . . |

So if I know the solution but don't have access to a MF or can't find the proper manual I should just keep my mouth shut?  |

this is a proven solution.
we've done this several times.
it works.
I can't post from my work place so I can't provide an answer without syntax errors. |

Some people have earned (by the consistent quality of their contributions over a long period of time) a "pass". . . Even if they don't have an alter-ego

Usually, posting "real" things from a system should be avoided. . . This does not mean that it cannot be posted changing anything that would identify the organization or some individual. |

I can't connect to this site from my work place.
I am aware I don't have the "pass". |

Unfortunate, but possibly you can connect to work from elsewhere? I've been using remote connections for so long i sometimes forget this is not always available. Bummer.
