>>Would it be feasible to submit the job with TYPRUN=HOLD (TYPRUN=SCAN is >>irreparably >>broken) and scan the resolved JESJCL with SDSF, then cancel it?
No SDSF at this shop, yet. We use $AVRS and some other piece of junk which is a small improvement on ISPF 3.8. But you might be on the right track. From what I have read, JCL processing goes thru these stages: Reader, Converter, Interpreter, Resource Allocation, Job Selection and Scheduling, Output, and Purge. It seems that TYPRUN=SCAN only does the reader and converter phases. I suspect TYPRUN=HOLD is probably the same, or maybe it does the Interpreter too. In any event, the converter phase does the PROC/SET/INCLUDE resolution and stores the result as C/I text on the JES SPOOL. If only there was a way to pull this out of spool and write to a regular dataset.
