1--> maximum no of job statement in jcl program (i mean it can be more than 1 if yes how many)??
2-->i want to copy members of pds to another pds without using jcl program(ie utilities).....can i copy and paste through panel if yes how??
3-->how many maximum no of page dataset can be used in IEASYSxx (ie we have system dataset for system and local dataset for users..............how many we can use max for local and system)??
4-->if i want to repeat few lines in jcl hw's that possible
for example // abc
// fghyt
// asdfhhjsd
i want to repeat these 3 lines let suppose for 5 times what is the specfic command i can use??
1) there is no thing as a JCL program...
a JOB is identiified in its basics by
... job card
... exec statement
... dd statement
there can be 0 to many dd' s for each exec
there can be many groups of execs/dd's for each JOB
a sequential dataset or a member of a PDS can contain as many jobs as You want..
(as many as Your brain can manage while editind the member )
2) why use cut and paste ??
use ISPF 3.3 ( copy/move)
use the CREATE command from the member You are editing to
as the name says create a new member in the current or a different PDS
use the REPLACE command from the member You are editing to
as the name says to replace an existing new member in the current or a different PDS
( if the destination object does not exists iy will be created )
3) the question is not clear
You can use the RR
command of the ISPF editor with a number modifier...
RR on the first line of the group and a RR on the last line
will replicate the group,
a number modifier on any of the RR like RR4 will..
why don' t You try it
