Override for Utility ID in JCl

Postby Samrita S » Tue Oct 04, 2011 10:59 am

HI,

How do we provide a override in a jcl for a utility Id mentioned in a PROC.

For eg:

If my Proc is ABC.DEF and inside its having a utility ID 'X' for utility ADUUMAIN. I need to override this utility ID in my JCL which is calling the PROC ABC.DEF.

Please help me through this :)

Can you show us what you have so far? Have you tried looking in the JCL manual?

Yes I did, but it gave knowledge only about how to override a dataset name and all. I couldn't find anywhere about utility override.

Thanks,
Samrita

Hi,

If I give &UID=' ' in PROC and give &UID='a.avlue' inside the jcl CALLING The PROC, will it override?

Well, you have a couple of problems with the question.

First of all, ABC.DEF is not a valid name for a cataloged procedure.

You haven't told us how you pass this X to the ADUUMAIN utility. If it is sent to the utility through a control statement in an input dataset ADUUMAIN reads there is nothing in JCL you do directly. If it is passed as a parameter, like EXEC PGM=ADUUMAIN,PARM='FUNCTION=X' you have a couple of options. The simplrst would be to define the procedure like this -
//ABCDEF  PROC FUNCTN='?'
//A       EXEC PGM=ADUUMAIN,PARM='FUNCTION=&FUNCTN'
 .
 .
and call the procedure like this -
//A       EXEC ABCDEF,FUNCTN='X'
There are other ways to achieve this effect, but this is the most traditional.

Sorry my Bad. I will be more clear.
My ProC is ADCD
and my utility is ADUUMAIN and its PARM=(ABS,'&UID','NEW/RESTART'...)
Here &UID='X'. This is my utility ID.
This I need to replace in my JCL. Now my JCL is not overriding any utility ID's. Its just submitting the job. I can't change it in my PROC. I need to override it in my JCl. How do I achieve it. In JCL where can i Code?
