First step of my job i am executing a REXX program to create a PDS member (includes few JCL steps) which i would like to use in later half of my JCL.
I am using INCLUDE MEMBER but its not working as my JCL processes all the includes before it executes the REXX. What alternatives can i use? I am refrained from modifying or creating a new JCL. Please advise. |

What you are trying to do is impossible.  All the JCL is read in before your REXX program runs and cannot be added-to. You could get the REXX to submit the JCL generated in the PDS member - but you say you can't create a new job.

Why don't you wrap a IF then endif around this include with RC from your rexx routine? I think that should make a trick for you.
I don't mean to go against Garry's answer as he is right but give a try. I know JES load all includes as a first step .

... and how, exactly, at JCL input time, is JES going to predict the contents of the as-yet non-existent PDS include member that will be created by the REXX procedure..... ?? That'd be some trick, alright!!

Garry is right, this can't be done. But writing the JCL to an internal reader is a piece of cake, actually more or less the same process you would use to write to that member.
is case you don't remember the syntax:
//DDNAME DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
and in your REXX pgm:
address tso "execio" queued() "diskw ddname (finis)" |
