The user defined symbols in JCL are handled by the JES (or equivalent) facilities.
There is no information I could find on how to access these, other them passing them on a PARM= statement. I suspect there is some callable JES service for it, however it's probably 1. an Authorized Program so application programs wouldn't be able to access it. And 2. Proprietary information, which means IBM hasn't published how to use it, meaning one would need to contact IBM for the information on it. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kirk Wolf Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 1:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Read JCL Symbols from a program? Does anyone know how to read the current JCL symbols from a program? ASASYMB apparently won't do it. Its frustrating, since you might be able to use for some interesting things.
