Hi Forum,

I want to include an USS file in my JCL-script and I got the error:
"Input not recognized "
Can anyone help me?

Regards, Stef

"Input not recognized "

not enough to provide an answer

post the FULL message with the IDENTIFIER

The step MAPUNLD gives error:

INCLUDE INHFS
Input not recognized

every well written program prefixes its messages with a MSG id
<some letters><some numbers>

to make easier the research in the manuals

since You did not care to post the MSG id the only thing that we can do is just guess

and just repeat what the program told
the string read from the DDNAME SYSIPT was not recognized

nothing from the data posted implies that using an USS file is the culprit

Hi Enrico,
Thank you for your replies:

The content of the USS file:
INPUT=MAPLIB2(M942201A) OUTPUT=MAPFILE
INPUT=MAPLIB2(M942201C) OUTPUT=MAPFILE

So the JCL script (with the USS file included):
...
//SYSIPT DD *
INPUT=MAPLIB2(M942201A) OUTPUT=MAPFILE
INPUT=MAPLIB2(M942201B) OUTPUT=MAPFILE
/*
....

The JCL script runs well with the statements hardcoded; however the members of the USS file will change everytime so that's why I want to include the file.

the topic is leading to nowhere

why not read the product manual to see the correct syntax of the include statement ?

or as an alternative, instead of

Select all

//INHFS     DD PATH='/u/ups/ucdtest/insert_into_wtx_jcl.txt', 
//             PATHOPTS=(ORDONLY)                             
//SYSIPT    DD *                                              
  INCLUDE INHFS                                               
/*

try

Select all

//SYSIPT    DD PATH='/u/ups/ucdtest/insert_into_wtx_jcl.txt', 
//             PATHOPTS=(ORDONLY)

I've read the manual syntax is OK

by **enrico-sorichetti** » Thu Jan 24, 2019 8:33 pm

no doubt about

Select all

INPUT=MAPLIB2(M942201A) OUTPUT=MAPFILE

but what about

Select all

INCLUDE INHFS    

which seems the statement causing the error

It works....Thanks for your help

helping you was as pleasant as getting a root canal treatment

this topic is a perfect example on how NOT ask for help
