Note that issuing a command with a // COMMAND jcl statement will execute the command as soon as the job starts, which may not be what is always wanted. Sometimes you may not want the command to execute at a particular point in the program or conditionally based on the cond codes.
I have a program that issues commands if you want it - it takes the command either from the parm field or multiple commands can be executed from SYSIN. Of course, RACF OPERATIONS access or the equivalent Is needed to run it. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of william janulin Sent: Friday, April 28, 2017 10:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: VARY command in a batch job Guys,I just did a quick test of a batch job with a // COMMAND statement in it , using IEFBR14, it worked fine.
