All,
I'm currently working on a new system and I miss a great feature(tm). On
the systems I've been working so far the Jobid of a JCL was
automatically set to my UserId when I've submitted the Job.
could anyone tell what I have to do to get this great feture back?
I couldn't resist trying the obvious, if only to verify that I got
the expected (WAD) failure:
1 //&SYSUID JOB &SYSUID,'Paul Gilmartin',
JOB02946
// MSGLEVEL=(1,1),REGION=0M,MSGCLASS=R
//*
IEFC653I SUBSTITUTION JCL - SPPG,'Paul
Gilmartin',MSGLEVEL=(1,1),REGION=0M,MSGCLASS=R
...
STMT NO. MESSAGE
1 IEFC662I INVALID LABEL
Why, why, why?!
I hate JCL!
From the JCL reference, chapter 5, section on JCL symbols,
the rules include:
4. Do not use symbols to change the identifier field, name field,
or operation field of a JCL statement
So you can't use symbols in the name field of a JCL statement;
I admit it would be nice, but you can't. Lobby for change.
Kind regards,
