here is a hopefully illustrative example:
//SYMTEST JOB (),'KIRK',MSGCLASS=H
// EXPORT SYMLIST=(MYSYM)
// SET MYSYM='/some/useful/path/name'
//SHELL EXEC PGM=COZBATCH # a better BPXBATCH
//STDIN DD *
set -o pipecurrent # required for: | read ...
# get the current JES symbols as shell variables
# ... maybe use these to control the script?
jessym -s | . /dev/fd0
echo "MYSYM=$MYSYM"
# set some new JES symbols
jessym -c DSN1=MY.FOO.IN DSN2=MY.FOO.OUT
# submit a job, passing all JES symbols, and get the jobid
fromdsn "//kirk.sample.jcl(br14)" \
| todsn -x "symlist(*)" //intrdr \
| read x jobid x # "JOB JOBnnnn submitted"
echo "JOB $jobid submitted"
# wait for the job to run
i=0
while [[ i -le 20 ]]; do
lsjes -t -i $jobid | read x jobname x phase x compl
# lsjes outputs a line like:
# JOBnnnn JOBNAME USERID PHASE CLASS RC=XXXX
if [[ "$phase" == "OUTPUT" ]]; then
echo "JOB $jobname($jobid) completed $compl"
# grab one of the job's spool files and print it to stdout
# ... might also want to grep/sed/process it
fromdsn -JES.$jobid.JESJCL
break
fi
let i=i+1
sleep 2
done
//
Here's the job output written to DD:SYSOUT (the merged stdout/stderr from
the shell):
