I have a job that I use to execute all sorts of operator commands via batch:
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT1A,DYNAMNBR=300 //SYSPROC DD DSN=SYS1.SISPEXEC,DISP=SHR //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=R //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=R //SYSTSIN DD * cf chp(Bf,d3,bb,da,c1,01,a0,04,06,09,ba,0f,17,d1,1b,c3,35),off cf chp(d8,80,85,87,8e,94),off /* // In the above example I am configuring chpid's off but it should work just fine for vary's. Change / Add the system= on the main card to which LPAR you are running on(JES3 only). -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of John Dawes Sent: Friday, February 24, 2012 3:14 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: VARY ON/ VARY OFF COMMAND IN BATCH Yes.

I dug up an old JCL which I tried but the job failed because of the following: READY CONSOLE SYSCMD(V (AA50),ONLINE) IKJ55303I THE CONSOLE COMMAND HAS TERMINATED.+ IKJ55303I AN ERROR OCCURRED DURING CONSOLE INITIALIZATION. THE MCSOPER RETURN CODE WAS X'00000004' AND THE REASON CODE WAS X'000000 00'. READY END Here is the job which I executed. : //* //STEP01 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,DYNAMNBR=999 //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSTSIN DD * CONSOLE SYSCMD(V (AA50),ONLINE) Could someone please correct my mistake?
