Hi,
I have to pass a variable value from a FILE/GDG to a JCL's symbolic parameter. The JCL is in prodcution, so I can't create it dynamically.
Please help

| What is it that you need to pass that will materially affect the JCL ? |

Why can't you generate the parm dynamically? It is a very standard method...

Please let me know on creating parm dynamically..
NOTE: The varibale value paased from file will be used to to fill symbolic parameter which in turn used to in Files and GDGs names. |

This assumes that you may amend the JCL prior to submission. Is that the case ?
Also, is the JCL submitted via a scheduling software, which if you make changes to, or submit the job from a different source all need to be considered too. |

Here's how:
1. Job1 creates a member of a PROC dataset, say HLQ.INCL.PROC(MEM), with one record: "// SET SYMB=value"
2. Job2's JCL has:
a. a JCLLIB card referencing HLQ.INCL.PROC (unless HLQ.INCL.PROC is one of the system's procedure libraries)
b. a card "// INCLUDE MEMBER=MEM"
c. a later reference like "//DD1 DSN=HLQ.&SYMB" |
