Hello Friends,
Looking for Program/utility/code, which will be executed as first step in a job to identify and delete the necessary cataloged files during runtime and therefore to avoid JCL errors.
Kind Note: I have not found any posting related to topic. Hence Posting this. If there is any (please share the links), Sorry for the inconvenience. |

I don't know anything that is automatic; there are too many variations.
Yes, in theory one could find the current job's JCT in SWA, then skip down through the SCTs and SIOTs that correspond to the job's JCL, but there are ways to define data sets outside of JCL that no search of this nature would reveal. |

| I think what David is alluding to is that some schedulers will do this function for you automatically. |

At our shop, we have SMS re-catalog existing files that are DISP=NEW automatically. thus removing the JCL error situation.
Works great, no fuss, no muss. |

Thank you so much for all your fast response and time :-)
Below information is from FILE183.PDS <<http://gsf-soft.com/Freeware/>>.
CLEANUP Assembler program. Automatically searches the MVS
catalog for non-GDG data sets that will be created
in subsequent steps of your job and deletes them.
HSM-migrated data sets are deleted with HDELETE.
//MYJOB JOB acct#
//*
//CLEANUP EXEC PGM=CLEANUP
//*
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=MYPROG1
//OUTDD DD DSN=MY.FILE1,DISP=(,CATLG)
//STEP2 EXEC PGM=MYPROG2
//OUTDD DD DSN=MY.FILE2,DISP=(,CATLG)
Can also be executed as the LAST step of a job to
delete non-GDG data sets that were created during
job execution. |
