The OP wants to RECEIVE to a temp DSN and PASS that data set to a subsequent
job step.
PASS requires a DD statement in JCL. Allocating that data set requires
a priori knowledge of attributes such as DSORG and SPACE which are
known only after seeing the prompt:
Enter restore parameters or 'DELETE' or 'END' +
The input file attributes are: DSORG=PARTITIONED, RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=27920,
LRECL...
You may enter DSNAME, SPACE, UNIT, VOL, OLD/NEW, or RESTORE/COPY/DELETE/END
OUTDD might solve some problems; not thisi one. Should the prompt supply
needed optiions
and allow escape to command line to ALLOCATE?
Should OUTDD be allowed to indicate a UNIX PATH? A pipe to uudecode? A pipe
to AMATERSE?
