Lately, I tried a job with:// EXEC //DD1 DD DISP=(MOD,CATLG),... //DD2 DD DISP=SHR,... The job failed with JCL error because DD2 does not exist. DD1 was never created. Clever, actually; I had expected DD statements to be processed in order of appearance; I'm glad not to have the side effect of a failed jobstep. But where is it documented in what order allocations are performed? JCL RM? Pretty thick book and lots of hits on "allocate". EXEC statement? I see no subtopic such as "Processing". JCL UG?
IMHO it works in "all or nothing" manner. I have never seen it documented. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
