Hi everybody,
Is it possible to limit the number of characters that each variable returns in JCL?
To be more clear, I want to define a dataset name that has 6 variable qualifiers which will be substituted with the values. But the number of characters exceed 44 resulting in RC=8.
| Code: |
DSN=UNLD.&DB..&TS..D&JDATE..T&TIME..P&PA.
|
Is there any way to only get the last 2 characters of for example &PA which is partition number?
Thanks in advance,
Mahsa Rouzkhatouni |

Nevermind, I found out. I have to write it this way :
| Code: |
| DSN=UNLD.&DB..&TS..D&JDATE..T&TIME..P&PA(3,2). |

Glad you figured it out yourself
Rather 3,2 I would recommend to use (-2:2) as it is backward counting would be ideal |
