Whatever you named your dataset in sortout, then allocate the same name to the appropriate DD in the following step. |

Let me try to understand your question:
In step#1 you have SORT step, and generates sort output file.
In this sort output file there is a record/data which is a dataset name , and you want to use this datase name in the next subsequent steps.
Is this what you are trying to do? |

Devzee,
For example My sortoutput file contains following information
A.XXXXX.SORTOUT.D070706.
I just want to use this data as input dataset of next step
//STEP2 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN DD DSN=A.XXXXX.SORTOUT.D070706.
// DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=A.XXXXX..SORTOUT,
// DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),
// SPACE=(CYL,(3000,125),RLSE),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=1000)
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
/*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=A
Thanks

i agree with syam, this simple stuff u can ask from your peers. U dont need to post this in the forums.
But Since u have asked this, Whatever Expat said is correct
Like Sortout dd dsn=xxx.data1, disp =(new, catlg, catlg)
next step
Sortin dd dsn= xxx.data1,disp=shr |

Hi Guys,
I dont mean that the output dataset of previous step to input of next step. My question is, the given dataset is stored as data in SORTOUT of previous step. I just want to that data as input dataset of next step.
Thanks

You can not dynamically alter the JCL once it has been interpreted by the JES subsystem.
You will either need to use that information to create and submit a new JCL stream, or use a program that can read the file and then use SVC 99 to perform a dynamic allocation.
It looks to me as though the input has a date embedded in it, surely a scheduler software would handle this much more efficiently. |

Expat,
Thanks.. As per concern standard, we cannt use dynamic allocation in my JCLs. Please let me know if you have anyother ways to resove it. |

Your original question was fairly well worded, but not well read by the responders.
If the 2nd step can be in a separate job, then see this link for how to use a JCL INCLUDE card with a SET statement. In job1 you'll need to create the SET statement from the record containing the dsname of interest:

sekumar Try this it should work:
1. Create new step or change your SORT to create dataset name as:
REPRO IDS(A.XXXXX.SORTOUT.D070706) OFILE(OUTD)
2. Create new IDCAMS step - REPRO
//OFILE DD DSN=A.XXX.ACTUAL.DATA
// . ... .
//SSYIN DD DSN=Here specify the control card generated from above step.
3. Use A.XXX.ACTUAL.DATA in subsequent steps. |
