Capture process Number during NDM transmission

Hi All,

I wanted to capture the Process Number of the submit process during the same NDM transmission step. To explain it in more details below are the step i wanted to do.

1) Execute the Process Step using CDRBATCH.
2) This will generate the process Number.
3) After successful transmission or Copy of my input file to output file i wanted to capture the process number that has been assigned transmission. (for this do i have a NDM utility ot something?)
4) now in the next step i wanted to trigger the job (which can be done by DMRTSUB).

So i wanted a solution to execute the point 3) noted above.

Any help in this regards is really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

NDM step writes the details of the transfer along with the NDM process number to //SYSPRINT DD I think OR //NDMLOG.(Dont have NDM to test it now)

Assign a file to the corresponding DD statement and parse the process number from the file.

Thanks enrico & vasanthz... for the valuable inputs...

Vsanthz... you are correct that i can parse the sysprint DD statement but for that i need to code a separate step to execute the SELECT STATISTICS command with my details...

Actually i wanted to have this all done in the same COPY run task step, which gets submit when i submit my NDM job.

Hope this make myself clear a more...

Dare I ask why you either want or need the process number ?

Hi Expat...

My requirement is like if an NDM process fails by any reason, then i wanted to execute a batch job which capture the input dataset name and process number with which it has failed and generates a report for the users.

I know that input dataset name can be captured using an NDM utility, but did not found any symbolic varible which stores the proces number

using which i can trace back the process.

Hope this helps!!!
