Search string then submit JOB

Post by simo78 » Sat Feb 01, 2014 8:06 pm

Hi,

I've a PDS with the following content:

Code: Select all

//*JOB1
/mydir/path1/file1.txt;MYJOB1
//*JOB2
/mydir/path1/file2.txt;MYJOB2
//*JOB3
/mydir/path2/file3.txt;MYJOB3
How can I submit i.e. MYJOB2 if the string I've to search is "/mydir/path1/file2.txt"?

With REXX I would be able to do this but probably it's better to do it with
DFSORT but I don't know how.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

You have not posted much that can be used to help you . . .

Where do these "jobs" reside?

Is the info posted different members in a pds or are these something else (i.e. all in one member, whatever)?

The info posted is not valid for mainframe dataset names.
Have a good one

Hi DikDude,

Code: Select all

//*JOB1
/mydir/path1/file1.txt;MY.LIBRARY(MYJOB1)
//*JOB2
/mydir/path1/file2.txt;MY.OTHER.LIBRARY(MYJOB2)
//*JOB3
/mydir/path2/file3.txt;MY.LIBRARY(MYJOB3)

As far as I am aware sort does not have a submit facility. Also, as far as I am aware, it cannot read a datasetname from an input record and use that to open that dataset. You could possibly use it to build the JCL for a second job that will be able to read that dataset and write it to the internal reader. But, keep with the KISS principle and use your rexx program (or any other language that can do the job).

To create a search string that will find jobs that exactly match what you want. This will allows you to find and run the search again anytime you want.

That makes no sense but perhaps the point was to just post that illegal url in the signature?

Hi Nic,

The "signature" link has been removed from the post. sagarhaele needs to change change the content of the signature in the profile.

Yup, what was posted tells me nothing i can use to help.

Possibly sagarhaele will clarify . . [/b]
