is it possible to involve the JCL variables inside IDCMAS utility SYSIN statment?
E.g.

// SET MYPRE='AAAA'
//STEP EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DELETE &MYPRE..XXXX.XXXX (Expect to delete 'AAAA.XXXX.XXXX)
/*
//*

Have tried the above, it is failure. Is there any other way to involve the JCL variables inside IDCAMS????

Thanks in advance

No, You can't pass variables to 'DD *'.

Hi

You can not pass variables thru sysin but u can generate SYSIN DATA at run time dynamically. See following post for an example
