Our shop recently started expanding the use of the SET paramater for symbolic overrides to jcl. It works wonderfully for datasets, but I was wondering if it can also be used for symbolic overrides on instream data such as IDCAMS DELETE/DEFINES or input for DB2 programs. See examples below:
Code:
// SET SYS=TF,
// DB2=DB2T
//*
...
//STEP0180 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT1B,DYNAMNBR=20
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD *
DSN SYSTEM(&DB2)
RUN PROGRAM(RCOB270B) PLAN(FODBPLAN)
END
/*
It would really simplify testing. _________________ Thanks,

symbolics that are part of instream data will not resolve. Instead, suggest that you create members of a parm library containing what you want, and use the symbolics to resolve the dd statement pointing to the systsin dsn(mem(s).. remember, you can concatonate, so:
Then, concatenate this file as first file in SYSTSIN.
Symbol | is used for newline split.
If you exceed 100-byte PARM length, just add another step to MOD more lines, if needed.
