SYSSYM=ALLOW in JESPARMS? -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Charles Mills Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2019 12:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: PARMDD and Symbols in a Started PROC
OK, I am making some progress. I got past the JCL error by coding a bunch of dummy // SET FOO=&PARM1 statements. I am not getting errors from the program. I can see that no symbol substitution has been done. Is there any restriction on DD *,SYMBOLS in a started PROC? Where should the EXPORT statement go?

I have a started PROC with the typical sort of symbols declared on the PROC statement. The PROC is two jobsteps, FWIW. The second step contains //stepname EXEC PGM=program,PARMDD=MYDDNAME And //MYDDNAME DD *,SYMBOLS=JCLONLY Various references to the PROC symbols /* I have a // EXPORT SYMLIST=*. I tried it before the first step, in the first step, and in the second step. The start fails with a JCL error and IEFC657I THE SYMBOL xxxxx WAS NOT USED for every single one of the symbols. z/OS V2R3. The program is APF authorized and linked with LONGPARM=YES. What am I doing wrong? Or is the big picture of what I am attempting to do hopeless? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ::DISCLAIMER:: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
