We do this all the time in the Syzygy Automation Suite. We typically scan the

different things based on what they are, also we allow SYZINnn and any number

If I press once or twice (I forget which) without entering any

diagnostic info. It's easy to press too of

Do you mean in COBOL?
I am not sure what you mean by "randomly selected" but if you mean
"dynamically-constructed" and you are not limiting it to COBOL, then it is
certainly trivial and

Not DD statements, dynamic allocation. You can use bpxwdyn without needing to
use assembler code, and you can use DYNALLOC (SVC 99) directly if you're
writing assembler.

Hi Lizette, as I noted originally, the vendor program uses control
statements, where certain values are passed in on the control statement.
These user-defined values drive the DD statement it is looking for. In
my example, the table number is being passed in on a SYSIN control
statement (it co

There is a Microsoft Windows version of the z/OS OEM batch utility, SELCOPY.
SELCOPY for Microsoft Windows can be invoked as a line command in a Windows
shell or from a shell script (BAT or VBS). It is capable of record based data
manipulation (including ASCII<->EBCDIC) and also supports definit
JCL doesn't allow any symbol substitution in names or operation. You can,
however, use anything in the wide wide world of programming to generate the
JCL and submit it.
But here's a nice, simple way to do it:

//SUBMIT EXEC PGM=IEBEDIT
//SYSPRINT DD ...
//SYSIN DD DUMMY

Yes, it is the 1968 compiler.
Yes, the object module can be uploaded to real hardware and will run.
No, you can't take advantage of newer instructions.

Thanks; II I hadn't seen that usage before.
The context that I'm interested in is tightly coupled multiprocessor systems,

another CPU to look for work. Originally that was used both for dispatch queues
