Hi,
I got one requirement where I need to look for the file which is coming from the 3rd party on daily basis with extn MON, TUE etc. if file does not receive by specific time then need to create empty file & process it.
I have tried using the LISTCAT command using the IDACAMS. it is working for the fixed file name.
Can we pass the parameter to the sort card. I have tried below but sortcard not working, giving error for the &DAY
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,PARM=&DAY
//SYSIN DD *
LISTC ENT (TEST.DATA.&DAY)
//*
Can anybody suggest on this |

"sort card" is not a generic term fo SYSIN data. No, you can't do that. Try searching forum for IDCAMS examples from yesterday/day before.
How the file arriving? Most places don't have a chump sitting around checking manually for the existence of a file, but automate it. |

you can not modify the contents of instream data with symbolics.
the hard way would be to precede the idcams step with a sort step
that would populate a &&temp/ds/pds(member) with the appropriate LISTC parm,
and change the SYSIN from an instream dataset to the output of the preceding sort step &&temp/ds/pds(member) |

| Also, suggest you read about PARM in the AMS manual. PARM is different for different programs - some do not even recognise it. Blindly using such a thing could led to serious consequences if you just happen to hit a value that means something to the program totally different to what you think. |

1. Requirement is not totally told to us. What if you get the file once the empty file is already processed. Wait till tomorrow?

2. Where did you get the idea that IDCAMS will recognise "PARM=&DAY"? may be I mis-understood something. |
