Hi Veterans,

I need a help creating a JCL with the following requirement. Tying to avoid writing cobol program if it is doable using JCL utilities

1. Write the current system timestamp into a file - HLQ.DSN.DATETSP
2. Use this timestamp and append it to the end of each record in another file - HLQ.DSN.INPUT1 The output file generated in this step HLQ.DSN.OUTPUT1 should have the same date&tsp from the file appended at the end of all the records in the file.
3. I need to do this for another 10 files - so I cannot use a dynamic Date&tsp but need to use the original data&tsp from HLQ.DSN.DATETSP

Any help is much appreciated.

I have googled and looked at the some handbooks, not able to find a way of doing this. I am comfortable getting the current Date and Timestamp into a file but not sure how to read that static value from the file into another Step.

Please help with sample or pointers

Input DSN#00..09 are assumed to be FB;80 here. This way you can update all ten Datasets with one ICETOOL step.

Code:
//WHATEVER EXEC PGM=ICETOOL                                           
//TOOLMSG  DD SYSOUT=*

Again: the newcomers are not able to create even a single line of code by themselves...

They are able only to copy-and-paste (e.g. to steal) others results. 824.gif icon_pray.gif sterb050.gif

I used DFSORT date/time operators just in case a different format is required. Using system symbols is of course also fine.

1. System variables can be used to provide any format
Code:
&YEAR
&MON
&DAY
&HOUR
&MINS
&SEC

2. Extra SORT section is not needed to form date/time string.

3. SORT and OPTION COPY are not required

4. Position 80 is not good choice to join all-to-one.

You cannot code DFSORTs TIME=(12:)/TIMENS=(12) format this way.

Omitting OPTION COPY from CTLnCNTL DD's will give ICE010A 0 NO SORT OR MERGE CONTROL STATEMENT in DFSORT, so it is needed there.

… only when SORT FROM() TO() is used under //TOOLIN DD instead of COPY FROM() TO()
