override by adding a new dd name from the jcl

Postby coolnsmart » Tue Nov 30, 2010 7:45 pm

My requirement is that :-

I have to add a new report to the existing program and it has been added and compiled successfully. For unit testing i copied the proc to my pds and tested it by adding a new DD name in the proc.

But as for full proc testing (which is a big proc)i need to add the new dd name to the proc (for the report in the program)from the jcl.

Kindly help me out in this on how to add or override a new dd name from the jcl to the proc.

Thx,
coolnsmart

To add some more :-

I have to add a new dd name from the JCL to the proc without making changes in the proc.

What you are saying here makes no sense. You need to change a PROC without changing the PROC.

maybe the ts wants to know how to ...
//jobname JOB job parameters
//*
//... exec some procedures
//*
//WEIRD  EXEC <the_weird_procedure>
//somestep.NEWDDNAME DD ... ddname info
//othrstep.NEWDDNAME DD ... ddname info
//*
//... exec the rest of the procedures
cheers

Hello,

Hopefully, the people who manage the environment will not tolerate this job running "forever" with DD overrides. . .

If some manager somewhere believes having this report included in the job is important, it is important enough to do the proper change to the PROC and promote it. . .
Hope this helps,
d.sch.

yup they are doing the change anyway why not do it and migrate it properly - unbelieveable - no they have to make the same effort twice when they could do it once and do it right hahahaha.
