I'd like to know if there is a way to check the current availability of a special ressource without using the TWS interface.

I've been using a jcl with the pgm EQQEVPGM to modify a special resource availabilty with SRSTAT command, but it can only modify and gives no information on the current status. Using TRACE parameters, doesn't display the SR status.

I've tried to use the pgm EQQYCAIN but it's the same problem : you attach/delete special ressources but it gives no information on the current status.

Isn't there an utility to check the special resource availability ?

Thank you in advance

In what way is this not viable?

Also search on the TWS toolkit, also known as SOE. You can use this to set a return code based on the availability of a special resource.

There is no example or something to call.
It is very complicated to check the status of a special resources.
Do you have a jcl example?

Why there aren't IBM simple utilities to do that?

I do have some sample JCL, but it's not going to help you much without downloading the SOE toolkit, since you won't have the EQQYXJCL proc.

Code:
//PIFSTEP EXEC EQQYXJCL,
// SUBSYS=OPCC
//SYSIN   DD *
LISTSTAT CSRCOM RESNAME(HBBIZHBPAYROLL) POLICY(Y=0,N=8)


The POLICY statement defines the return code that will result from the special resource being un/available.

There are simple IBM utilities to do this. It's called the SOE toolkit.

Thank you very much for your support.
I downloaded the SOE Toolkit but now I need permission from my company
to install it.

I could try to find an online version but I think it will serve the entire tollkit installed.

Did you ever consult your OPC/TWS support?
