The job is not to be executed. Also, any more, I use the ACB interface instead of the DCB interface. This allows the use of the "VSAM" ENDREQ macro, which also closes out a job. This latter is even better since the JCL "null" and the /*EOF could both be "swallowed up" by something like: //SYSIN DD DATA,DLM=$$ as the last JCL statement. ref: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.hasc300/has2z1_Submitting_to_the_internal_reader_from_jobs_or_tasks.htm > > -- gil > -- Advertising is a valuable economic factor because it is the cheapest way of selling goods, particularly if the goods are worthless. -- Sinclair Lewis Maranatha! <>< John McKown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
