Can any one help, for solving the following problem

1) I need to create a file with Date format as DDMMYY.DOC,
2) I need to give access to this file to some userid (WEAXXXX)

All these needs to be done from a JCL itself..

Thanks for your help...

OK, I'm not clear at all as to your problem. Do you wish to catalog an MVS DATASET and include, within the content of the DATASET, a date field in DDMMYY format? I have no idea where you're going with '.DOC'. And, what do you mean by "need to give access"? Are you implying that you must define an access rule within your security product (RACF,ACF-2,Top Secret) on the fly?

superk,

We are running some job on a daily basis, that creates to dataset, then we manually send it to server... So we run a clists to create a datasets with DDMMYY format, then giving a access to a Admin peoples and then run FTP step to send it to server..

This what we do, I am curious to automate this whole process... is there any way of doing this ????

syedfasi,
If you had mentioned this requirement in the first post itself, we could have suggested a solution.

Everything you asked for can be done in a max of 2 steps which includes the FTP step.

All you need is to generate dynamic FTP control cards. Here is a sample job which will create the dynamic FTP control cards which can be used in the ftp step.

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=EZACFSM1                                         
//SYSIN    DD *                                                     
SERVER NAME                                                         
PASSWORD                                                             
PUT 'YOUR MAINFRAME FILE NAME'  PC FILE NAME &LDAY.&LMON.&YR2..DOC   
QUIT
//SYSOUT   DD DSN=DYNAMIC FTP CARDS,               
//            DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),               
//            UNIT=DISK,                             
//            SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE),               
//            DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=0)   
//*
//STEP0200 EXEC PGM=FTP,PARM='(EXIT=16'                             
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//INPUT    DD DSN=DYNAMIC FTP CARDS,
//            DISP=SHR
//OUTUT    DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//*                                             


Hope this helps...

Cheers

Folks, is it just me??....

syedfasi, I'm going to break down your comments into units of work for the process. I'll need you to fill in the gaps where needed:

1. We are running some job on a daily basis - I presume this means that you are using a job scheduling system, so I imagine this part is automated.

2. that creates to dataset - I presume you mean that this daily job writes data into a dataset. No problem here.

3. then we manually send it to server - why is it sent manually, and how is it sent? What is your suggestion for an alternative to this part of the process?

4. So we run a clists to create a datasets with DDMMYY format - OK.

5. then giving a access to a Admin peoples - Why? What are these folks roles in this process. Why do they require access to this data? What is your suggestion to remove them from this process?

6. and then run FTP step to send it to server - OK.

1. We are running some job on a daily basis - I presume this means that you are using a job scheduling system, so I imagine this part is automated.

ANS: No this part is not automated. We demand in a job on a daily basis.

2. that creates to dataset - I presume you mean that this daily job writes data into a dataset. No problem here.

3. then we manually send it to server - why is it sent manually, and how is it sent? What is your suggestion for an alternative to this part of the process?

ANS: Meaning, we submit a job to send these to server.

4. So we run a clists to create a datasets with DDMMYY format - OK.

5. then giving a access to a Admin peoples - Why? What are these folks roles in this process. Why do they require access to this data? What is your suggestion to remove them from this process?

ANS: This Admin guys send it to the other agencies.. So they need to access these datasets. right..???

6. and then run FTP step to send it to server - OK.
