I've run into a situation where we have a parm that expands to more than 100
characters (sound like a familiar problem?).
So, I've tried to use the PARMDD EXEC Keyword. And sure enough it points over
to the specified DDName.
So I have it coded like this:
// EXPORT SYMLIST=*
:
:
//PARMLST DD *,SYMBOLS=CNVTSYS
(&HDY &HDT &SQP &RNO &VX &CCT &CMB) &NAP
/*
And that failed - NONE of the variables were expanded.
So I tried this:
//PARMLST DD *,SYMBOLS=CNVTSYS
ISPSTART CMD(%NCMPL &HDY &HDT &SQP &RNO &VX &CCT &CMB) &NAP
/*
Only the "ISPSTART CMD(&NCMPL" gets passed and used (because I got the SAYs out
of the REXX code).
(yes, I am using IKJEFT01, IKJEFT1B, IRXJCL as the PGM=, and this ain't
happing).
So, has anyone tried this? Have you had any success?
Did I read the various wonderful manuals? Yes, all of them z/OS 2.1 (JCL REF,
TSO Customization, etc.).
I thought, from reading the manuals, that those variables were to be
interpreted for this particular DD because of the SYSMBOLS keyword.
What am I missing?
