Need a information regarding SYSIPT

Post by ramya_MF » Fri Jul 27, 2012 2:23 pm

Hi friends,

Please explain the below statement in job card.

//SYSIPT DD *

What is SYSIPT and where should we use it? instead of SYSIPT is there any name?

I think SYSIPT maximum lrecl is 80. so how to increase the Lrecl of SYSIPT?

Please help me out of this confusion.

Thanks,
Ramya

a dd statement is not part of the job card.

a dd statement is a parm of the exec statement.

SYSIPT is a ddname associated with some utility/program.

suggest that you google SYSIPT to find out.

Such a deal of confusion in such a short post.

SYSIPT is the DOS/VS, DOS/VSE, z/VSE equivalent to SYSIN, although much more closely bound to being the "cardreader" because of the lack of the "device independence" of OS, MVS and z/OS.

So, likely, but not necessarily, in your case it is a "hang over" from an old program converted at some point.

How do you change the "maximum" of anything? You'd have to change the program.

If the data is to be read from a DD * dataset, it Will be a length of 80.

If you believe you want a different lrecl, the data will need to be placed in a file with dcb attributes that match the code that will use the data.
Have a good one

I am reading the data from DD * only, i am using a utility program called MTPBATCH to read the data. so i am unable to find out the DCB attributes of that Utility. DD * is only reading 81 bytes of data, it is ignoring to read the rest of the data.

You need to post the submitted JCL & data. Use the Code tag for alignment/readability/

Code: Select all

some stuff
some more stuff

i am using the below jcl. please look into the below jcl.

Code: Select all

//Jobcard 
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=MTPBATCH 
//STEPLIB DD DSN=XXXXXXXXXXX,DISP=SHR 
//BATCNTL DD DSN=XXXXXXXXXXX,DISP=SHR 
//SYSLST DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=* 
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* 
//SYSIPT DD * 
CICS NCICSTA7 
CEMT I FILE(F5750IPT)
/* 
Code'd

once i submitted this jcl i am getting only half of the file name like F5910TG.UAT
instead of full file name F5910TG.UAT.TEST.F5750IPT.

I want to get the full file name. This is my problem. Please suggest me is there any way to get the full file name.

Thanks,
ramya

Contact your site support group explaining the problem and do what they tell you to fix it.

And you've not used the code tags yet.

You show a file name and say that it has been truncated.

Why is this not in the info you posted?

Why have you not worked with your local system support people rather than posting this in multiple forums :( :?
