Hi All,
Here is one requirement where we have to pass a member name to JCL. The JCL should accept the member as input dynamically and execute. As such we need to pass 100s of members one by one and the JCL has to execute each time.
Please let me know how this can be achieved.

Where is this member name coming from?

So, you just need to create some JCL and submit it. |

sorry for the confusion.
JCL is already present. I need a rexx, which reads a PS file which contains all the member names and pass each member as and when it is read to the jcl as input and run the jcl |

You still did not answer my question!
a small example would help also ( 2 member names ) |

If I understand your requirements, use LISTDSI (or, alternatively, LMMLIST). The LISTDS version...
| Code: |
m = outtrap("mem.") /* setup stem var for LISTDS info */
Address TSO "LISTDS '"pds"' members"
m = outtrap("OFF") /* set OUTTRAP 'OFF' */
do i = 1 to mem.0 while(mem.h ¬= "--MEMBERS--")
NOP /* skip down to member list returned */
end
i = i + 1 /* bypass header line */
do j = i to mem.0
parse var mem.j this_mem rest
/* add code to build and submit your job */
/* e.g. "//JOBCARD JOB ..... " */
/* e.g. "// EXEC YOURPROC,MEMBER="this_mem */
end
|
Regards,
Garry. |

Do you want to run the group of members(jcl's). Is it so?
Is it some thing like you want to submit group of jcl's in one shot right? is my understanding is correct?
if so you can use TSO SUBMIT command and give all members and just by executing rexx , it will submit all members in same/differen pds |

man, again, no one bothers to read.
the OP has a file with member names.
He wants a rexx that would modify an existing JCL by placing the member name in the appropriate place in the jcl and then submit the jcl then place the next member name in the jcl and submit that, .... until his trigger file (list of members) is empty. |

Dick,
The info that the file with names was PS hadn't arrived before I submitted my suggestion and I suspect the same is true for others. It would be fairly simple, in any case, to modify the code snippet to process from EXECIO * DISKR for the PS file.

I was just asking what the OP wanted to achieve to ascertain the best way of helping.
Possibly submit one JCL for everything, or if one per member really is required. |

Any answer to this query?
I am trying to follow it as my requirement is quite similar to this. I have a JCL and I need to pass CYCLNO as parameter into the JCL. something like a Symbolic Parameter in JCLs. But this parameter would be taken as I/P through the REXX and the CYCLNO incremented after the JCL has been successfully submitted and RC=0 or 4 and then the same JCL submitted again with the incremented CYCLNO.
The CYCLNO symbolic variable may be present at any location in the JCL and it needs to be replaced with the correct values of CYCLNO each time the JCL is submitted.
Thanks. |

What ? You want to wait for the result of the submitted job before incrementing the CYCLNO ?
If so - This type of request has been discussed many times before and everytime was rejected as a bad idea. |

| If that is a bad idea and it has been rejected so many times then I suppose I should not think in that direction. :-) Thanks for pointing that out. |

What you want to do would be easy enough to generate numerous jobs and increment the CYCLNO for each job and then deal with any failures as and when they occur.
I guess it all depends on how many jobs that you want to submit in any one hit. |

Thanks Expat for the suggestion.
Actually I have changed my processing logic to handle in a different manner. In case any help is required I will write back.
Thanks |
