Hi,
I have a typical situation.
I have a Job which executes a set of Natural programs, say 6 in number. Out of the 6 Natural programs 3 programs use a date card.
I want to run this job for a previous date range, say Mar 1 2005 to Apr 15 2005. I dont want to manually change the datecard for every run.
Is it possible to automate in such a way that is job is run once for every date and automatically flips the date and runs again. As I want to run for previous date, I think I cant use a job schedular and that too .. I want to run for all the dates today only.
Please let me know if we have any way. please provide me the sample code too. Please suggest me at the earliest, as this is very critical to me. Otherwise I need to keep on submitting the job 'n' times.
Thanks for the help. _________________ Thanks for help |

So you want to increment the date for every run ?
ie.
Code: |
run date
1 March 1st 2005
2 March 2nd 2005
3 March 3rd 2005
....
|
What is the format of the date? CCYY/MM/DD ?

Pvrajs,
I can't read your requirement sitting at my desk. You did not answer my first question. So I going with the assumption that you want to increment the date for every run. Here is the basic set up. You might have to change your pgms to read the date in mmddyy format.
Create a 80 byte(FB recfm) file with starting date enclosed in quotes.
i.e
Code: |
PVRAJS.DATECARD.FILE
===>
***************************** Top of Data *
'2005-03-01'
**************************** Bottom of Data
|
Now in your JCL
Code: |
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=NATURAL1
//PARM DATE DD DSN=PVRAJS.DATECARD.FILE,
// DISP=SHR
...
//STEP0200 EXEC PGM=NATURAL2
//PARM DATE DD DSN=PVRAJS.DATECARD.FILE,
// DISP=SHR
..
//LASTSTEP EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*,DCB=BLKSIZE=121
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD *
DSN SYSTEM(XXX)
RUN PROGRAM(DSNTIAUL) -
PLAN(DSNTIAUL) -
PARMS('SQL') -
LIB('DB2P.RUNLIB.LOAD')
//SYSREC00 DD DSN=PVRAJS.DATECARD.FILE,
// DISP=OLD
//SYSPUNCH DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SELECT CHAR('''')
,DATE(
// DD DSN=PVRAJS.DATECARD.FILE,
// DISP=SHR
// DD *
) + 1 DAY
,CHAR('''')
,CHAR(' ',68)
FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1
;
/*
|
So for every run the date is incremented by 1 day in the last step. To verify the code, just run the last step 2 or 3 times and check the contents of pvrajs.datecard.file after every run.
Hope this helps...
Cheers

Thanks for the reply .. but I want to submit the job also automatically for the said range. From the code I understand that this is not does .. I need to submit the job for every date change. _________________ Thanks for help |

Pvrajs,
you can submit the JCL to run 45 times by submitting 1 single job.
Let us say your JCL is named RUNJCL in the pds PVRAJS.TEST.JCL
now create another job like as below. Code 46 sub stmts for submitting the job 46 times (March 1st to apr 15th = 46 days). since all the jobs have the same jobcard , then will execuete one after another hoping that your system does not allow running duplicate jobs.
Code: |
//STEP0010 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD *
SUB 'PVRAJS.TEST.JCL(RUNJCL)'
SUB 'PVRAJS.TEST.JCL(RUNJCL)'
SUB 'PVRAJS.TEST.JCL(RUNJCL)'
....

Hope this helps...
