The DD could be dynamically freed and re-allocated with the proper writer name before it's opened.

I really wanted to avoid that if possible. Agree? Any other ideas? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Sproull, George J Mr CTR US DISA CDB14 Sent: Tuesday, March 03, 2009 16:43 To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Dynamic change of JES WRITER Hello, Given these JCL statements: //OUT01A OUTPUT CLASS=R,WRITER=W1,FORMS=F000 //OUT01 DD SYSOUT=(,), OUTPUT=(*,OUT01A) //OUT02A OUTPUT CLASS=R,WRITER=W1,FORMS=F999 //OUT02 DD SYSOUT=(,), OUTPUT=(*,OUT02A) What I am trying to do is to dynamically change the WRITER used for the OUT01 DD from W1 to W2 within an assembler program. I think I need to change a value in the JES characteristic JOE for this output grouping. Is the JOE accessible and modifiable by an application? Do I have to worry about the JOE being used by more than one SYSOUT in my (or another) job? Am I even on the right track? Thanks for any help you can give. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html CONFIDENTIALITY/EMAIL NOTICE: The material in this transmission contains confidential and privileged information intended only for the addressee.
