Hi Group,....
I have requirement to check the SPOOL for a given JOB and purge it if the RC is 0.
I am planning to automate the above process using REXX.
If any of you aware about the approach and code for my requirement, please let me know, I would be greately thankful!!!
Regards
Sulabh |

| Or look at the REXX SDSF API. |

I can see a use for a tool like this in a Development environment but NOT in Production!
I already have a tool that we use (in Development only!) to archive job output to a PDS or PDSE using the REXX/SDSF interface. It also creates a log data set that can be used as input to another tool that purges the output.
If you are on z/OS 2.2 you can take advantage of the new RGEN command under SDSF. It generates skeleton Rexx/SDSF programs based on the SDSF screen you run it on. I have not yet had an opportunity to try it out because we just recently upgraded to 2.2 and the feature hasn't been turned on yet, but it looks very interesting. |

My site has a program called JOBPURGR (sorry, source is not available) which you would add as the last step of the job. And you would add JCL so that the last step only gets executed if RC=0.
The JOBPURGR program uses control blocks to determine the job number and issues a $PJxxxx operator command (or something like that). |

Also EJES EXECAPI interface could help with this issue. |

IF the site has (E)JES -- as a vendor product, (E)JES is not installed at every site, so your suggestion has a good chance of being unusable. |

i think you can use of appropriate JOB CLASS in your job. ( with DISP (PURGE,HOLD) )
in that case you don't need REXX or anything |

Not JOBDEF, but OUTCLASS .. OUTDISP(PURGE,HOLD) might work. Though you must make sure the job abends for anything but RC=0, as OUTDISP is based on job abend:
OUTDisp=([normal][,abnormal])
normal Specifies the output disposition if the job does not abend.
abnormal Specifies the output disposition if the job abends[/quote] |

on SDSF you can run this command to find out disposition of job's out put:
| Code: |
| $D JOBCLASS(*),OUTDISP |
and find the job class with DISP (PURGE,HOLD) and in your JCL set MSGCLASS to it. |

Agree.
As well as many other recommendations from this forum do refer to the tools not available in our environment. But I do not post objections on each of them. |

| JOBDEF and OUTCLASS are JES2 definitions. Probably should have said so. |
