Hi all,

I have JCL PROC, inside the PROC, i have
Code:
//SYSIN    DD *           
  PUNCH TYPORG=PO         

&
Code:
//SYSIN    DD   *             
  OPTION COPY                 
  OUTREC FIELDS=(1:2,79)       


I am getting an error, saying that PROC can't contain SYSIN DD *
Code:
++SYSIN    DD *                                                       
(1 CARD IN INPUT STREAM DATA SET)                                     
CAY6058E PROCEDURE STATEMENT CANNOT CONTAIN DD * OR DD DATA PARAMETER


How to solve the problem...

Hi,

Create a PDS(E), copy the SYSIN cards to it's member & include those members in your PROC.

Hi,

you have answered your own question, you cannot instream data in a PROC.

Either place instream data in a PDS and call it in your proc or override the PROC

Hi guyz,

I have placed the instream data as a PDSE member. Using JEM i check'd the JCL, there was no error, but when i submitted it. The return code was 16.

Error is
Code:
PRINT/PUNCH DATA SET UTILITY               
PUNCH TYPORG=PO                           
IEB435I MISSING COMMAND PRECEDING COL 13   
IEB420I SYSIN IS EMPTY                     


&

Code:
SYSIN :                                             
OPTION COPY                                         
       *                                           
OUTREC FIELDS=(1:2,79)                             
       *                                           
WER275A  NO KEYWORDS FOUND ON CONTROL STATEMENT     
WER275A  NO KEYWORDS FOUND ON CONTROL STATEMENT     
WER449I  SYNCSORT GLOBAL DSM SUBSYSTEM ACTIVE       


I replaced SYSIN input data stream with the following
Code:
//SYSIN    DD DSN=HXSULL.JCL(SYSIN1),DISP=SHR   

&
Code:
//SYSIN    DD DSN=HXSULL.JCL(SYSIN2),DISP=SHR


SYSIN1 contains
Code:
PUNCH TYPORG=PO 


SYSIN2 contains
Code:
OPTION COPY             
OUTREC FIELDS=(1:2,79) 


Did i miss something....

It looks like you began the statements in col 1 in the members - they should be the same as when they were inline, not col 1.

Since z/OS 2.1, you can use instream data in proc : www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.1.0?topic=statements-embedding-in-stream-data-in-procedure
