Re: START command when the member is a JOB
Two thoughts: - Have you tried to move the job to the library allocated under //IEFJOBS in the master JCL? - You might try MGCRE. -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse -- 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

Re: START command when the member is a JOB
Have you set up the IEFJOBS file name in the MSTRJCLxx member? This allows you to have job cards, etc for STCs.

I can try this on my more up-to-date sandbox, but based on your experience I don't expect any change. So... 'tis a puzzlement. Taking the easy way out, I've removed the requirement to START this thing as a job. (Peter and Matthew: I have not implemented IEFJOBS. I *can* start jobs, and from SYS1.PROCLIB, but only from the console, not via internal START with PTOKEN.) Thanks to all, -- David Andrews A.

START command when the member is a JOB
A member in SYS1.PROCLIB is started via operator command. When I insert a JOB statement as the first record, the system executes the member as a job (which allows me to use instream data, for example). This works well for plain old console START commands, but when I internally issue a START command for the same member, and pass a program token in the MGCR parameter list, then MVS 1.8 starts the member as a plain old started task -- and then jobfails it for the misplaced JOB statement.
