Hi All,

anybody can tell me what does it mean cntrlin and cntrlout inthe following code:
//infile dd dsn=inputfilename, disp=shr
//cntrlin dd dsn=mp.ump0cjcl0(0),disp=shr
//outfile dd dsn=outputfilename,
              disp=(new,caltg,delete),
              unit=sysa,
              space=(cyl,(5,10),rlse),
              dcb=mp.pmpul.dgke
//cntrlout dd dummy


thanks,
Helen

Since YOU have the documentation for the program / system, would it not make more sense for YOU TO READ THE DOCUMENTATION and figure it out? We have absolutely no way of knowing what those DD names are for.

Hello,

Possibly the most important bit of missing information is the name of the program being executed. . .

That jcl could be used by many programs, so exact usage would depend on the particular program being executed.

If you provide some info, we may be able to provide more useful replies.
