Symbolic parms in JCL

Postby LasseH » Fri Dec 11, 2020 1:42 am

Hi all
Trying to use some nice symbolic parms in jcl but found out that it seems that IBM has SYSSYM=DISALLOW as default for jobclasses but not for STCs
Does anyone know for what reasons, and do You see any problems with changing that to ALLOW?

JOBCLASS(STC)       AUTH=(ALL),BLP=NO,COMMAND=EXECUTE,  
                     CONDPURG=NO,DSENQSHR=ALLOW,        
                     IEFUJP=YES,IEFUSO=YES,              
                     JESLOG=(NOSPIN),LOG=YES,            
                     MSGLEVEL=(1,1),MSGCLASS=X,          
                     OUTDISP=(HOLD,HOLD),OUTPUT=YES,    
                     PERFORM=000,PROMO_RATE=0,          
                     PROCLIB=00,QAFF=(ANY),REGION=0000K,
                     SWA=ABOVE,TIME=(001440,00),        
                     TYPE26=YES,TYPE6=YES,DESC=

JOBCLASS(A)         ACTIVE=YES,ACCT=NO,AUTH=(ALL),    
                     BLP=NO,COMMAND=VERIFY,COPY=NO,    
                     DSENQSHR=ALLOW,DUPL_JOB=DELAY,    
                     GDGBIAS=JOB,GROUP=,HOLD=NO,        
                     IEFUJP=YES,IEFUSO=YES,            
                     JESLOG=(NOSPIN),JOBRC=MAXRC,      
                     JOURNAL=YES,LOG=YES,MODE=JES,      
                     MSGLEVEL=(1,1),OUTDISP=(,),        
                     OUTPUT=YES,PERFORM=000,            
                     PROMO_RATE=0,PGMRNAME=NO,          
                     PROCLIB=00,QAFF=(ANY),QHELD=NO,    
                     RESTART=NO,REGION=0004M,SCAN=NO,  
                     SCHENV=,SWA=ABOVE,SYSSYM=DISALLOW,   <====
                     TIME=(001440,00),TYPE26=YES,      
                     TYPE6=YES,XBM=,XEQCOUNT=(MAXIMUM=*,
                     CURRENT=3),                        
                     XEQMEMBER(SYSP)=(MAXIMUM=*,        
                     CURRENT=3),DESC=

Only the System Programmer at your company can help with this issue.
Javas and Pythons come and go, but JCL and SORT stay forever.

IBM in general is careful to change defaults. I have worked where ALLOW was set for all in jobclasses, with no ill effect. But you still must read the doc careful.

It can be dynamically changed. So change a little used class and test. If all goes well then you can expand which classes are allowed.
