Re: JCL PROBLEM
Just a point which may not be obvious (at least it wasn't to me). The default of 5 tape volumes is hard coded only for non-SMS managed tapes. Truly! If you are using SMS managed tapes (in an automated or even manual library), then you can assign a default DATACLAS. In this DATACLAS, you can set the volume count to something else. We started having problems with some backups of files which had ballooned suddenly, which was causing a lot of abends due to exceeding tape volumes. There were simply too many JCL streams to update in a timely manner (change control). Since all our application tapes are in a VTS library, and so SMS managed, I simply changed our default DATACLAS which is assigned to virtual tapes to have a volume count of 110.

Re: JCL PROBLEM
Where I work is in all my sig lines. Doesn't matter, if you're thinking of anything that costs money. We aren't spending any more than we currently do. And we may actually get more budget cuts in 2013. Our main OEM vendor is CA. We don't normally have JCL problems, the one I mentioned was endemic due to converting from BMC's Data Accelerator compression to SMS compression and its effect on CA-Faver backups. The z/OS system is generally moribund. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets® 9151 Boulevard 26 . N. Richland Hills .

Oh, and catalog all the datasets. During a DR test, only the first dataset was cataloged and it was on just the first volume, and only the first tape was sent for the exercise. Since there was no cataloged datasets on the second tape, it was not sent. The application people had to Fedex the second tape to complete their test.

All, I have a utility that outputs a string to SYSPRINT (but that can be changed). Now I need to pass this string via SYSIN (or PARM) together with some other parameters to a second utility. A little pseudo-sample: //* //* IMAGINE FOO WILL OUTPUT AN IP-ADDRESS - BUT THE ADDRESS //* IS OF COURSE NOT KNOWN... //* //STEP01 EXEC PGM=FOO //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //* //* NOW I NEED TO EXECUTE A COMMAND THAT CONTAINS //* THE IP-ADDRESS //STEP02 EXEC PGM=BA,PARM='PING the.ip.addr.here' . OR ... //STEP02 EXEC PGM=BA //SYSIN DD * PING the.ip.addr.here //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* Any ideas how to solve this problem? My first idea was to pass the SYSPRINT from STEP01 to a following STEP that issues an EDIT-Macro that changes the contents to my needs (BTW, how to do this?). The new SYSPRINT is then passed to the PING STEP. Of yourse this is just simplified just to show you what I need. My real case has nothing to do with IP-Adresses and PING and that stuff, but this sample is (I think so) easy to understand...

Re: JCL Problem...
Is there any reason why you aren't pointing SYSPRINT (or whatever) at a temporary (or permanent) file, and using that file as the SYSIN dataset for STEP02? For what reason do you *need* the SYSIN data to be instream? -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Knigge Sent: 22 October 2008 10:37 To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: JCL Problem...

Thank you in advance Bye, Michael A REXX or CLIST EXEC (or many other programming options) that parses your SYSPRINT (passed from the first step in a dataset, not SYSOUT -- or put to a dataset, the gener to SYSOUT if someone needs this info), which in turn generates a temp (or permanent, transient/temporary - for restart purposes) dataset containing your PING (or whatever) command which gets executed in a subsequent step. You may also be able to use ICETOOL/DFSORT to parse the SYSPRINT output and generate your command.

For what reason do you *need* the SYSIN data to be instream? I don't really need it instream - it was just to clarify that I need to modify the output to SYSPRINT from the first STEP (put something around).
