Hi All,

After lot of search on forums and google I am posting this requirement since I could not get it , I remember reseraching spme skeltons in my last organization but its a quite long time I am not in touch .. Please help me out

I have below JCl which have some variables to be override form my rexx thru File Tailoring service , Variables are liek &GRP,&PRFX,&LIBNBS,&FIL,&FILE etc


Code:

//*%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-' 
//JSTEP&NM EXEC PGM=CHECKCC,                   
//             PARM='PGMA=IDCAMS,ABEND=0001'   
//SYSOUT   DD  SYSOUT=*                         
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                         
//SYSIN    DD  DSN=&LIBNBS(&GRPDF&FIL),DISP=SHR
//*%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-' 
//JSTEP&NM EXEC PGM=CHECKCC,                   
//             PARM='PGMA=IDCAMS,ABEND=0001'   
//&PRFXI   DD  DSN=&GRPRP.CICS.RMS.&PRFX,       
//             DISP=SHR,UNIT=AFF=RMSHISI       
//&PRFXO   DD  DSN=&GRPP.CICS.RMS.&PRFX,       
//             DISP=OLD                         
//SYSOUT   DD  SYSOUT=*                         
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                         
//SYSIN    DD  DSN=&LIBNBS(&GRPCMSA),DISP=SHR   
//*%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-' 
//JSTEP&NM EXEC PGM=CHECKCC,'                                         
//             PARM='PGMA=IDCAMS,ABEND=0001''                         
//SYSOUT   DD  SYSOUT=*                                               
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                                               
//SYSIN    DD  DSN=&LIBNBS(&GRPDX&FIL),DISP=SHR                       
//*%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-%-%-%
//JSTEP&NM EXEC PGM=CHECKCC,                                         
//             PARM='PGMA=IDCAMS,ABEND=0001'                         
//SYSOUT   DD  SYSOUT=*                                               
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                                               
//&FILBASE  DD  DSN=&FILE,                                           
//             DISP=OLD                                               
//&FIL1    DD  DSN=&FILEA1,                                           
//             DISP=OLD                                               
//&FIL2    DD  DSN=&FILE2,                                           
//             DISP=OLD                                               
//&FIL3    DD  DSN=&FILEA3                                           
//SYSIN    DD  DSN=&LIBNBS(&GRPBX&FIL),DISP=SHR


Below is the method I am using to override the variables

Code:
O = outtrap('OUT.','*')                                 
 Address ISPEXEC                                         
 "LIBDEF ISPSLIB DATASET ID('nbdhbfy.rmcopy.skellib')"   
 "FTOPEN TEMP"                                           
 "FTINCL MSTRJCL"                                       
 grp = RMS                                               
 prfx = RMSMSA                                           
 FIL  = MSA                                             
 file = RMSMSA                                           
 LIBNBS = NBDHBFY.RMCOPY.PARMLIB                         
 grpr  = rmpp                                           
 "FTCLOSE"                                               
 "VGET ZTEMPN"   


Below is the output I am getting whihc is not desired . It is removing the lines having "&" in the file
Code:

//*%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-%-%%-%-%-'         
//JSTEP EXEC PGM=CHECKCC,

//    DD  DSN=,

You haven't set those to a value. So they get blank. Have you tried setting on to itself so it preserves the content?

However, some documentation checking may reveal a better way to do it.

When I came across this, I changed the JCL skeleton to have double-& and the problem was resolved. e.g.

Code:
//FIL1    DD  DSN=&&FILEA1,                                           
//             DISP=OLD   


I didn't have an & in the label field, however.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you required JCL with &variables remaining after the File Tailoring had completed. Have you tried setting the values within quotes? (e.g. fil1 = 'ABC' and FILEA = 'AFILE' )

You have not supplied variables for FIL1 and FIL2 - you simply did FIL. If you want FIL! and FIL2 to change to MSA1 and MSA2 then I suggest you try &FIL.1 and &FIL.2

You need to initialize the variables BEFORE the FTINCL
