I don't know anything about the PIPES being discussed here. However, you can "pipe" information from one job to another using standard JCL. Run the following two jobs together, in separate initiators (of course!). Oh, and make any JCL changes necessary! //useridGW JOB (H00000I),'TESTPIPE1',CLASS=D,MSGCLASS=X, // TYPRUN=HOLD, // NOTIFY=&SYSUID,TIME=NOLIMIT //STEP002 EXEC PGM=ICEGENER //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD DUMMY //SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.MACLIB(READ) //SYSUT2 DD PATH='/tmp/MCKOWNPIPE', // PATHDISP=(KEEP,KEEP), // PATHMODE=(SIRUSR,SIWUSR), // PATHOPTS=(OCREAT,OWRONLY), // DSNTYPE=PIPE, // LRECL=80,RECFM=F,BLKSIZE=80 // /*EOF //useridGR JOB (H00000I),'TESTPIPE2',CLASS=D,MSGCLASS=X, // TYPRUN=HOLD, // NOTIFY=&SYSUID,TIME=NOLIMIT //STEP002 EXEC PGM=ICEGENER //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD DUMMY //SYSUT1 DD PATH='/tmp/MCKOWNPIPE', // PATHDISP=(KEEP,KEEP), // PATHMODE=(SIRUSR,SIWUSR), // PATHOPTS=(OCREAT,ORDONLY), // DSNTYPE=PIPE, // LRECL=80,RECFM=F,BLKSIZE=80 //SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=* // The GW job will "pipe" SYS1.MACLIB(READ) to /tmp/MCKOWNPIPE, which will be read and printed by the GR job. Whichever one starts first will wait for the second one to start. When the GW job signals EOF, then both jobs will terminate. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
