Hi,

Define a file in your cobol prog as below.

File-control.
Select file1 assign to dd1.

File section.
FD file1.

01 cobol-rec.
05 rec1 pic x(80).

procedure division.
para1.
Move '\\jobname job time,notify.....' to cobol-rec.
write cobol-rec.
move '\\step01 exec pgm=xxxx.....' to cobol-rec.
write cobol-rec.
Move '\\sample dd dsn=yyy.zzzzz...' to cobol-rec.
write cobol-rec.



After writing cobol program.
In JCL give dd1 as below.

//dd1 dd sysout=(INTRDR,*)

Pls try it and let me the know the result.

Regards,

Srinivas.

Please do NOT do this.

It is bad for so many reasons, change control, audit, Operastions management, job re-runs...

Can't think of any reason why this is a good idea. In fact have worked at places where doing this would get you fired.

If you don't have a job scheduler - which is the preffered method then just jobchain to the previous step by putting a Gener to the interal reader as the last step.

Whay are you trying to link the jobs like this ?
