@Lizette: If that's your only concern, then you have no concerns. There's no connection between JCL symbols and users creating lots of datasets.
What I do is use an IEBEDIT (IEBGENER also fine) job to submit the actual job from //SYSUT1 DD DATA,SYMBOLS=EXECSYS to the INTRDR. Voila, full symbol support. And there's not a damn thing you can do about it. :-) sas On Fri, May 5, 2017 at 12:06 PM, Lizette Koehler <stars...@mindspring.com> wrote: > Only concern would be users creating datasets with DATE/TIME entries and > there is no cleanup. > > So you could have a user create 365 Date datasets * hhmmss entries and > then not have a process to DELETE the things no longer needed. > > I will use the inappropriate term - ga-zillions of datasets in your DASD > Volumes and no clean up. > > > > Lizette > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On > > Behalf Of Carmen Vitullo > > Sent: Friday, May 05, 2017 8:17 AM > > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > > Subject: Re: JCL System symbols > > > > Strange mindset, afraid of change - I don't see any concern or auditing > > issues. > > Been slow to change that status quo - I'm trying :) > > > > > > Carmen > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > > From: "Paul Gilmartin" <0000000433f07816-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> > > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > > Sent: Friday, May 5, 2017 10:12:08 AM > > Subject: Re: JCL System symbols > > > > On Fri, 5 May 2017 10:00:12 -0400, Carmen Vitullo wrote: > > > > >Good point, sorry to make the assumption , for the most part we > > >DISALLOW systems symbols in batch > > > > > Why?
