I don't want to teach anyone to suck eggs, but did you do the EXPORT SYMLIST=* before the setting of the variable USSPATH? I've fallen over this several times. Lennie

As those who have been following along will remember (i.e., probably nobody, as you have your own fish to fry) I've been trying to simplify our product installation process by centralizing variables in a JCLLIB member. This went on hold for a while but now we're trying to finish it up, and are hitting a problem that I'm hoping someone will have a hint about. Apologies where I use incorrect terminology; please do correct me! The F1 relfile is the JCLIN data. Ours includes: //SYSLIN DD * LIBRARY '&USSPATH.lib/libsapi.a' That's not getting substituted, even if we add ",SYMBOLS=(JCLONLY,JESJCL)" to the DD. Is this some limitation that we've hit, where even though that sure looks like JCL, it doesn't get processed the same way "regular" JCL would? Say it ain't so...! Thanks for any hints/tips. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
