'JOB' is the name of a user written proc executing a program originally based upon a supplied sample (not sure of the original name - we call the program ZHINTRDR but it was modified by someone). the program reads the job stream and substitutes parms flagged by % signs with user supplied values.

A friend of mine, after scanning some SYSLOGS, found this interesting piece: START JOB,NAME=MYJOB,P='''PARM=XYZ''' I did not find anything related in the MVS System Commands manual, which lists only these possible job-level keywords: ADDRSPC v BYTES v CARDS v COND v JESLOG v LINES v MSGCLASS v MSGLEVEL v NOTIFY v PAGES v PERFORM v PRTY v REGION v TIME So, whats is this 'P' keyword? Is it undocumented? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
