I may be missing something, but I'd go for something like: //STEP01 EXEC PGM=FOO //SYSPRINT DD DISP=(NEW,PASS)...etc... //STEP02 EXEC PGM=BA //SYSIN DD DSN=*.STEP01.SYSPRINT,DISP=(OLD,DELETE)... //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

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... Thank you in advance....
