Be aware, use of system symbols in JCL is supported in JES2 in z/OS 2.1, NOT JES3.

And yes my October residency will explore some of the value of this and, particularly, the 2.1 enhancements - for job cloning.

END // PEND ... and the caller can (optionally) provide an overriding prelude SYSIN containing various ACONTROL and SETC instructions to govern the rest of the processing. Could be very useful for storing tailorable SYSIN in a PROCLIB. Will be even better with symbol substitution in 2.1. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
