i have a jcl in which 4 & 5 step creates a new generation.
4th step output is as input for the 6th step & 5th step
output is used as input in the 7th step. How they are
refered as in the 6th & 7th steps?
If the job abends in 6th step then how the 5th step output
is refered in 7th step?
Answer Posted / sivakumar sekharannair
In the question it says that in step 4 and 5 a new
generation is created. so
Step 4 output: XX17.PRASAD.OUT1(+1) This step can be
referred as in Step6.
so step 6 will refer this file as XX17.PRASAD.OUT1(+1)
generation only. because (+1) will become current version
(0) only after the execution of the entire job.
Similarly
Step 5 output: XX17.PRASAD.OUT2(+1)
so step 7 will refer this file as XX17.PRASAD.OUT2(+1).
If the job abends in step 6. the files created in step 4
and 5 will become current version (0).
so now the 7th step will refer the output of step 5 as (0)
i.e.XX17.PRASAD.OUT2(0).
Note:
I assume the files created by step4 and step5 are different.
