One question, When I run the job don't I need the EXEC PGM=xxxxx in order to issue the command ? I checked the manual for an example but it just displays the actual COMMAND. Examples of the COMMAND StatementExample 1The following shows an example COMMAND statement with the START command.// COMMAND ’S VTAM’ start VTAMExample 2The following is an example of a command that is continued with the command operand in apostrophes.// COMMAND ’SEND ’’This message will be sent to user SCOTTC // when this job is converted’’,USER=(SCOTTC)’

Vary does not work under it. It might work under OPER in TSO. But, I find, // COMMAND,VARY.... COMMAND Statement z/OS V1R12.0 MVS JCL Reference SA22-7597-14 <SNIPPAGE> Lizette's directive is a good one. You can also do the following: // VARY ..... But in all of these, you will need to ensure that you have Security authority to issue commands via JCL. This authority can be effected in a few ways.
