I started a similar thread a couple of months ago and came to the conclusion that I would indeed have to "roll my own". So I did. I have now completed a program I call SYMBSUB. It is written in COBOL. It creates a TSO environment, then invokes SDSF from TSO to print the JESJCL to a dataset from the spool. It then reads that dataset and parses the jcl to get the symbolic variable values to use for substitution. The program reads in files of 80 byte cards and writes then back out performing substitution using jcl syntax substitution rules. It is written in COBOL, so just about anyone should be able to compile it and run it. I will donate the source code to the CBT. I have never contributed any code before, so if can anyone provide some pointers on how I go about doing so I would greatly appreciate it. If anyone on this list like to try out the code before I place it on the CBT, please pipe up!
