you just run it under TSO, then?
Kind of like:
The heater in my car doesn't work.
Move to a warmer climate, then.
The following kludge works in both TSO and UNIX:
/* Rexx */ signal on novalue; /*
Doc: function JOBID() returns current Job ID.

RC = BPXWDYN( 'alloc rtddn(DD) rtdsn(DSN) sysout msg(WTP)' )
RC = BPXWDYN( 'freedd('DD') msg(WTP)' )

That's right. I'm about to process DB2 REBIND en masse and need to see in realtime that it executes ok (if in error it needs to be stopped) and at the same time save it for processing in a later step. As the execution can take 30 minutes I don't want to wait until end. (Using the DSN command under IKJEFT01.) Then why not put a REXX around it and then inspect the SQL as it is produced? You can use a REXX to invoke the DSNREXX or use DSN natively.

I want to follow the execution by inspecting the output but at the same time save it for processing in a following step. Preferably by JCL means. Regards, Thomas Berg Of course, change your program to write the record once to each DD. Oh, you want a system level function to do it for you? You didn't say that! grin To the best of my knowledge, z/OS does not come with this functionality. You basically want the equivalent of the UNIX tee command. However, there is a possible work around, if you are open to new functionality and are writing TEXT data (no binary garbage). Instead of writing to a sequential output dataset, allocate a UNIX file to your output DD. //ddname DD PATH='/some/path/file', // FILEDATA=TEXT,PATHOPTS=(OWRONLY,OCREAT,OTRUNC), // PATHDISP=(KEEP,KEEP), // PATHMODE=(SIRWXU,SIRGRP,SIROTH), // RECFM=??,LRECL=??,BLKSIZE=?? Now, the OWRONLY says output. OCREAT says create it if it doesn't exist, but reuse it if it already exists. OTRUNC says to truncate the existing records (like VSAM REUSE) if the file already exists. In the reading step, replace those three with a single ORDONLY to indicate read. You can use IEBGENER to copy the data to a sequential dataset, if you need to. The plus is that z/OS does not do enqueues on UNIX file names like it does on sequential datasets. So you can browse the file using ISPF if you want to. If you are a UNIX shell user, you can use the tail command with the -f option. This makes the tail command follow the file and print new records to your UNIX shell every two seconds. I havent' tried this, but if might be possible to create the dataset in a separate job, and then write to it in this job with a DISP=SHR. You could then browse the dataset as the job runs. Don't know when or if this will hit the list.

I was trying to write up a way to do something like that: fetching the sysout from the currently running job into a disk dataset in a later step. But ran into a problem in trying to find an IBM-supplied way to get the running job's JES job number. I know how to write code to get it, but I can't find a TSO or UNIX program to do it for me. I could then use Dovetail Technologies' Data Set Pipes to get the sysout into a disk dataset (fromdsn -jes.j.stepname.procstep.ddname | todsn //DD:ddname) in a subsequent step.

I want to follow the execution by inspecting the output but at the same time save it for processing in a following step. Thirty years ago I would have said that it sounds like an ideal job for GPSAM (file 648 on the CBT site). You'd write a little access method that accepts a couple of DDNAMEs as arguments, and writes the output to both. Now I don't know if GPSAM has been updated for newer OS levels (the File 648 version is dated 1982), but conceptually and maybe even practically, it should still be fine on z/OS today. Preferably by JCL means. Um, well, once you write your little access method (all nice, unauthorized code, btw) and install GPSAM, it would all be by JCL means. It would look something like this: // EXEC PGM=yourprog //STEPLIB DD DSN=your.private.unauth.loadlib //SYSPRINT DD SUBSYS=(GPSM,DOUBLER,'COPY1,COPY2') //COPY1 DD SYSOUT=* //COPY2 DD DSN=dataset,DISP=...,etc. You just have to write the DOUBLER routine.

So, I found that it is actually tricky to get the current jobid using REXX in a WLM-initiated environment. Here's a slightly patched REXX script that I found by Bill Lalonde that will do it: /* REXX */ /* curjobid.rexx (adapted from http://billlalonde.tripod.com/rexx/findjsab.txt) */ /* Based on expansion of IAZXJSAB macro */ /* This EXEC returns current jobname, jobid, userid and */ /* name of the component which created the JSAB */ /* for the current task / address space */ NUMERIC DIGITS 10 tcb = C2D(STORAGE(21C,4))/* get current TCB */ jsab = 0 /* null pointer*/ if tcb \= 0 then do stcb = C2D(STORAGE(D2X(tcb+312),4)) jsab = C2D(STORAGE(D2X(stcb+188),4)) end if jsab = 0 then do ascb = C2D(STORAGE(224,4))/* get current TCB */ assb = C2D(STORAGE(D2X(ascb+336),4)) if ascb = 0 then do call lineout stderr,'Unable to locate JSAB from ASCB at 'D2X(ascb) exit 8 end jsab = C2D(STORAGE(D2X(assb+168),4)) if jsab = 0 then do call lineout stderr,'Unable to locate JSAB from ASCB at 'D2X(ascb) exit 8 end end flg1 = C2D(STORAGE(D2X(jsab+13),1)) DO WHILE flg1 127 eye = STORAGE(D2X(jsab),4) If eye \= 'JSAB' then do call lineout stderr,'Invalid JSAB found at 'D2X(jsab) exit 8 end jsab = C2D(STORAGE(D2X(jsab+4),4)) if jsab = 0 then do call lineout stderr,'Unable to locate a valid JSAB' exit 8 end flg1 = C2D(STORAGE(D2X(jsab+13),1)) END /* jbnm = STORAGE(D2X(jsab+28),8) */ jbid = STORAGE(D2X(jsab+20),8) /* comp = STORAGE(D2X(jsab+16),4) */ /* usid = STORAGE(D2X(jsab+44),8) */ say jbid exit 0 So, then you can add this step to your job to copy a previous step's spool file to another DD: // EXEC PGM=COZBATCH //STDIN DD * fromdsn //-jes.$(curjobid.rexx).stepname.procstep.ddname | todsn //DD:OUT //OUT DD ... // -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
