Hi , I recently came to know that we can use sysmbolic parameters in SET statements
to get DATE , DAY , TIME etc...
I tried the below jcl step
| Code: |
// SET DATE=D&YYMMDD.
//IEFBR14 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//NEWDS DD DSN=MAGT.&DATE..CNTL,DISP=(,CATLG),
// SPACE=(TRK,(1,1,1)),BLKSIZE=0,LRECL=80 |
and MAGT.D121204.CNTL is created.When I tried to get the day (tuesday)
I am getting JCL error.Here is my jcl for DAY
| Code: |
// SET DAY=D&ZDAY.
//IEFBR14 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//NEWDS DD DSN=MAGT.&DAY..CNTL,DISP=(,CATLG),
// SPACE=(TRK,(1,1,1)),BLKSIZE=0,LRECL=80 |
What is wrong with this?? also please let me know the list of parameters like this ( ZJOBID, ZJOBNAME).Please help.
Previously i used internal reader to get this type of data. |

| You appear to be confusing JCL symbolics with ISPF system variables. |

| You have to show what error you got. Did you mean &WDAY? |

Why do you have a period at the end of the SETs
"// SET DATE=D&YYMMDD."and "// SET DAY=D&ZDAY." ? |

Use REXX or suchlike to generate into a PDS member the JCL with the SET statements
e.g.
generate these statements into PDS.MEMBER.LIB(@RUNDATE) with the REXX which can get the date and time..
// SET RUNDATE=11318
// SET RUNTIME=1638
then in the execution JCL..reference it as follows using the INCLUDE
//JCL JCLLIB ORDER=(PDS.MEMBER.LIB)
// INCLUDE MEMBER=@RUNDATE
//X DD DSN=FILE.NAME.D&RUNDATE..T&RUNTIME, |

did this work for you?
As it did not work for me, I get this error:
| Code: |
STMT NO. MESSAGE
4 IEFC627I INCORRECT USE OF AMPERSAND IN THE DSN FIELD |
I'm not sure but it sounds like I should suggest you to read about EZACFSM1 instead.  |

There are some envirnment where JCL like what Arunkumar has shown is sent to other parser which replaces these variables with value and then submits it.
Could be similar case... |

helps if you include the relevent messages. I tried this and get the following (as expected).You can clearly see in the substitution JCL that no date value is being passed. Still the same if set value is in quotes which it has to be when you have special characters like the & in it.
Give up and use the example I provided. System symbols can only be used in started task JCL
