ISPF File Tailoring

OK, here is an example of some file tailoring that we do for our programming staff using ISPF and Dialog Manager. This one creates a compile job stream for a COBOL CICS program. It may or may not contain SQL statements, that is determined by the library type (COBOL or SQLCOBOL). A REXX EXEC

It's not so much a plumbing exercise as it is changing the JCL skeleton to use REXX variables and REXX style logic. No global variables required, unless your passing data between invocations of the EXEC. Ed Zell wrote: OK, here is an example of some file tailoring that we do for our

I think the globalv variables would be information that is the same from one invocation to the next, such as userid, jobclass, destination, account numbers, etc. A typical skeleton jcl modifying pipeline would be something like this: 'PIPE ' skel_fn skel_ft skel_fm , '| change /USER/'||
