Well, not being psychic I can not see either your SORT statement or the output from the SORT step.
Perhaps if you bothered to post the relevent information people would be able to help you. |

| Code: |
//SORTIN DD *
&HOST
/*
//SORTOUT DD DSN=X.Y.Z,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=800)
//SYSIN DD *

You can not use symbolic substitutiions in instream, as used in your sysin.
These will not be substituted |

Try this
| Code: |
//SORTIN DD DSN=where your JCL is,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
INCLUDE COND=(1,80,SS,EQ,C'HOST')
/* |

Hi expat,
i tried your code but i'm not geting the desired output. I got the following output
| Code: |
// SET HOST='123.456.789'
|
But i only need the value. |

I'm not aware of any standard utility that will let you pass a parm value from the JCL into an output dataset. If your site has a need to do this, then I'd suggest that you have your own in-house utility coded up to accomplish this task. You could, of course, easily accomplish this with any number of langauges or tools, such as COBOL/Assembler/PLI/REXX/CLIST/SAS/Easytrieve, etc.
Certainly easily doable with REXX:
| Code: |
//*
// SET HOST='10.0.858.88'
//*
//STEP0001 EXEC PGM=ICEGENER
//SYSUT1 DD *,DLM=@@
PUSH ARG(1)
"EXECIO 1 DISKW OUT (FINIS"
EXIT 0
@@
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=&&PDS(X),DISP=(,PASS),UNIT=VIO,
// SPACE=(TRK,(1,1,1),RLSE)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//*
//STEP0002 EXEC PGM=IRXJCL,PARM='X &HOST'
//SYSEXEC DD DSN=&&PDS,DISP=(OLD,DELETE)
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD DUMMY
//OUT DD SYSOUT=*,RECFM=FB,LRECL=80

Hi,
I agree with Kevin. Utility to copy Symbolic Parameters vary from sit to site. At our site we use following utility
| Code: |
//SET1 SET HOST='10.0.858.88'
//STEPCPY EXEC PGM=K9801GCP,
// PARM=(,SFILE,&HOST)
//
//SFILE DD DSN=&&TEMP,DISP=(NEW,PASS)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=&CLS
|
Note: I have used a temporary file, which can be replaced with actual DSN
Cheers!!
Happy Coding |

Thanks for the help. But one think that i though is to write a small program, pass the value as a parm then write it to output file. this can be done in no time. But anyhow will try to find if any such utility is available in my shop.
thanks for your time and help. |

One simple approach:
| Code: |
// SET HOST='10.11.12.13'
//CREATE EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSUT1 DD *
Queue Arg(1)
'EXECIO 1 DISKW OUT (FINIS'
Return rc
//SYSUT2 DD DISP=(,PASS),DSN=&&EXEC(MYEXEC),SPACE=(TRK,(1,1,1))
//SYSPRINT DD DUMMY
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//*---------------------------------------------------------------
//WRITE EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,PARM='%MYEXEC &HOST'
//SYSEXEC DD DISP=(OLD,PASS),DSN=&&EXEC
//OUT DD DISP=OLD,DSN=MBB1986.OUTPUT.FILE
//SYSTSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSTSPRT DD DUMMY |
drop the 1st step if your exec is already in a pds soomewhere |

MBabu,
Is this different from the solution which Kevin had already posted?  |
