THE BELOW GIVEN IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TO SUBMIT A JCL FROM A
COBOL PGM:
============================================================
============
COBOL CODE WHICH HAS THE JCL STATEMENTS:
=========================================
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. PROG55.
ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
INPUT-OUTPUT SECTION.
FILE-CONTROL.
SELECT IN-FILE ASSIGN DDFILE1
ORGANIZATION IS SEQUENTIAL
FILE STATUS IS IN-STATUS.
DATA DIVISION.
FILE SECTION.
FD IN-FILE.
01 IN-REC PIC X(80).
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 IN-STATUS PIC X(2).
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
OPEN OUTPUT IN-FILE.
DISPLAY IN-STATUS.
MOVE '//SORT002 JOB MSGCLASS=X,CLASS=T,' TO IN-
REC.
WRITE IN-REC.
MOVE '// MSGLEVEL=(1,1),NOTIFY=XXXXX'
TO IN-
REC.
WRITE IN-REC.
MOVE '//STEPDEF EXEC PGM=IEFBR14' TO IN-
REC.
WRITE IN-REC.
MOVE '//DATA1 DD DSN=TNL.PV.INTRDR.SAMF,DISP=
(NEW,CATLG),'
TO IN-
REC.
WRITE IN-REC.
MOVE '// LRECL=80' TO IN-
REC
WRITE IN-REC.
DISPLAY IN-STATUS.
CLOSE IN-FILE.
STOP RUN.
THIS IS THE JCL TO RUN THE ABOVE COBOL PGM 'PROG55' FROM
ENDEVOR LIBRARY.
Note: '//DDFILE1 DD SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR)' USED BELOW.
ALSO THE DDFILE1 IS USED AS THE DD NAME IN THE ABOVE COBOL
PGM

Answer / pradeep
Yes, can be very much done. Only thing is that the dataset
which contains this JCL statements should be mapped to the
JCL dd statement with INTRDR

Answer / guest
Using EXEC CICS SPOOL WRITE(var-name) END-EXEC command.
var-name is a COBOL host structure containing JCL statements.

Answer / ram.g
pgm looks gud...but is it possible to have the jcl in input
file rather than creating o/p file in pgm and use the input
file to submit the jcl..by assinging whatever *.intrdr's dd
name to the i/p file...
