Hello friends,

How we can pass /* as a data using sysin statement?

hy aru_bec,

teh /* is actually the EOF flag for any instream dataset,
but you can do this similar like,
//FILE DD DATA,DLM=$$
here is your file with /* at the end...
$$

Hello Martin

I want to pass

ABC
DEF
XYZ
/*

is this possible

//SYSIN DD *
ABC
DEF
XYZ
<operator>/*
/*
//

Please let me know if any <operators> are there to pass with /*.

Thanks & Regards,
Arvind

hy aru_bec,

you confuse me now a bit...

if you want to pass
ABC
DEF
XYZ
/*

then do

//SYSIN DD DATA,DLM=$$
ABC
DEF
XYZ
/*
$$

what you mean with <operator>???

Thank you martin,

Please ignore the <operator> part.

Thanks a lot,
