Answer / prachi

1) you can use INCLUDE MEMBER as below

//JCLLIB ORDER=<Give the PDS name of the member you want to
include>
//INCLUDE MEMBER=<Give the member name here>

2> SPOOL is the place where you can see the status after
executing the job

3>To direct the output of a jobstep to spool we need to
give
//SYSPRINT DD SYSYOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*

Answer / saisankar

i have 3 lines of jcl without jobcard.these 3 lines are
repetitively used by many members.

for reusability point of view these 3 lines are copied
according to the user.for write these 3 lines in member of
a pds.for copying

/*

Answer / praveen bejjanki

1) Not sure what a JCL segment in a job
2) Spool is the place where we will see the status of the
submitted job. generally SDSF or IOF will be the spool.
SPOOL - Simultaneous Pheriperal Operation Online.
3) To direct the output of a jobstep to spool:
The DD stmt of the jobstep should be like below
//DDname DD sysout=*

But most of the people think like if we give like
//SYSPRINT DD SYSYOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
output will be routed to spool which is wrong.
But sysprint DD stmt is used to route all the
messages,stmts generated by the utility(cobol program) to
be printed in spool
& sysout is used for displaying the Display stmts in cobol
program.

I hope this might give a clear picture of what you are
looking for
