Bill I have a proc that starts @ IPL time to copy parmlib datasets to a backup using date time
i use this //CLEAN EXEC PGM=IDCAMS, //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD *,SYMBOLS=EXECSYS <-------- DEL 'ATTS.PROD.&SYSNAME..IPLINFO' /* //IPLINFO EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,REGION=0M,PARM='IPLINFO', // DYNAMNBR=99,ACCT=(S,0602,0599) //SYSEXEC DD DSN=TS.USER.REXX,DISP=SHR //SYSTSPRT DD DSN=ATTS.PROD.&SYSNAME..IPLINFO,DISP=(,CATLG), // UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(25,5),RLSE), // RECFM=FBA,LRECL=134,BLKSIZE=0 //SYSTSIN DD DUMMY //* //IEBCOPY1 EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY,REGION=2M,TIME=10 //SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.SYSC.PARMLIB //SYSUT2 DD DISP=(,CATLG), // DSN=ATTS.PROD.SYSC.D&LYYMMDD..T&LHHMMSS..PARMLIB, // UNIT=SYSALLDA,SPACE=(CYL,(10,1,75),RLSE) //SYSIN DD DUMMY ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Ashton" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, May 5, 2017 8:38:50 AM Subject: JCL System symbols Hi again...I have searched, and must be looking for the wrong thing, so I hope you can help me. Is there a system symbol I can use in my DSN that has the current date in it? I understand the implications of cross-date boundaries, etc., and am looking to try something using the date in my dataset name. Also, do I need to export the symbol if it is a system symbol, or can I use it in JCL and control cards without the export? Thanks again, and have a great, sunny weekend! -- Thank you and best regards, *Billy Ashton* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
