Re: eqqdelds
开云体育Rene, I totally agree – as with many things – there are MANY ways to reach the end goal – IEFBR14 of course, really is only a few instructions – to clear some registers and return – (there are many stories of apars against IEFBR14 over the years) So, running IEFBR14 is actually only using the Interpreter portion of JCL processing.?? (and of course the step initialization and termination) ? There are even some places where we attempt to structure jobs to COMBINE steps – due to the high overhead of each step – (when there are situations that include hundreds or thousands of steps – this can be a big deal) – ? ?

Rene, Yes, that program is part of a LICENSED PROGRAM (Tivoli Workload Scheduler) – I STRONGLY suggest you ignore a program that may or may not be available in the TK5 environment - and code either IEFBR14, ?IDCAMS or IEHPROGM Using supplied utilities – OR – as Jose states, you certainly can ROLL your OWN - ? ? IEFBR14 will of course FAIL if the data set is not there to delete – quick and dirty ? IDCAMS will deal with catalogs – and is more robust and you can check and set the MAX return code - ? Old tricks – on ANY job that is going to create new data sets – simply add a IDCAMS step prior to the create step to delete – this will insure you will not fail for duplicate data sets.? – set the MAXRC and check the Return code – if required – or set MAXRC to zero and go on to the next step. ? Or – there may be reason to rename the existing data set if it exists -? IDCAMS can handle that too - ? Coding JCL is a learning experience – and will become second nature if you do it enough ? ? -J- ? Jeff Bassett (301) 424-3362 (office) (240) 388-7148 Cell ?
