I'm thinking that there must be a simpler way of doing the following.

I have a step in my JCL and would like to pass the return code for that step to the following step in the JCL. For example
Code:

//DELETE   EXEC PGM=IDCAMS                       
//*                                               
//SYSPRINT  DD DUMMY                             
//*                                               
//SYSIN    DD *                                   
 DELETE SIMMIC.DIALLIST.DI.KBN2201               
 SET MAXCC = 12                                   
/*                                               
//*                                               
//         EXPORT SYMLIST=(RETC)                 
//         SET RETC=DELETE.RC                     
//*                                               
//DIT032   EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01                     
//*                                               
//SYSPROC  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SIMMIC.PRIVATE.CODE   
//*                                               
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*                           
//SYSTSIN  DD *,SYMBOLS=JCLONLY                   
%DIVE0001 USER=SIMMIC,RETC=&RETC                 
/*                                               

I've tried all sorts of variations using SYMLIST and EXPORT etc but can't get any of them to actually pass the return code from the previous step to my rexx script. The example above results in the following in SYSTSPRT
Quote:

READY
%DIVE0001 USER=SIMMIC,RETC=DELETE.RC
parms=USER=SIMMIC,RETC=DELETE.RC
READY
END


Any suggestions?

Convoluted and messy Mr. Green ................. but you might want to use this in your REXX code and get the RC that way

Code:

/* REXX *** GETRC *** GET THE STEP NAME AND RETURN CODE              */
NUMERIC DIGITS(32)
TCB  = STORAGE(D2X(540),4)
JSCB = STORAGE(D2X(C2D(TCB)+180),4)
JCT  = STORAGE(D2X(C2D(JSCB)+261),3)
THIS_STEP_NO = X2D(C2X(STORAGE(D2X(C2D(JSCB)+228),1)))
FSCT = STORAGE(D2X(C2D(JCT)+48),3)
TEMP_SCT = FSCT
DO I = 1 TO (THIS_STEP_NO - 1)
  STEP = STORAGE(D2X(C2D(TEMP_SCT)+68),8)
  RCSTEP = X2D(C2X(STORAGE(D2X(C2D(TEMP_SCT)+24),2)))
  BYPASS = STORAGE(D2X(C2D(TEMP_SCT)+188),1)
  IF X2D(C2X(BYPASS)) = 80
    THEN RCSTEP = 'FLUSHED '
  SAY 'STEP ==>' STEP ' RC ==>' RCSTEP
  TEMP_SCT = STORAGE(D2X(C2D(TEMP_SCT)+36),3)
END
EXIT

Thanks expat - that's the code I have at the moment.

Just seems rather ridiculous that one would have to go to those lengths (not to mention what happens if they ever change the control blocks)

Not always the way that you want to do it, but at least it works.

Misi01,

Unfortunately the return code information is available ONLY from control blocks and expat has posted that piece of code. Another alternative is to scan the output of this job and get the IEF142I message from JESYSMSG
