Can anybody tell me how we can write the JOB name into a PS file using EZACFSM1.

Regards,
Rajat

Do you want the name of the job executing EZACFSM1 or the job about to be submitted by the EZACFSM1 step?

hello,

I want the job about to be submitted by the EZACFSM1 step to be written in a PS file.

Hello,

I'm confused. . .

You mention you want the name and then later you want the job.

Please post what you "have" and what you want to be put into the PS file.

What are you hoping to get in this topic that you did not get in your earlier topic about EZACFSM1?

EZACFSM1 will get the jobname of the currently executing job...

how do You expect for EZACFSM1 to find the name of the job being submitted?
the jobname is part of the input, so there should be no need to get it from anywhere
unless there was a language misunderstanding !

JOB1 is executing EZACFSM1 to submit JOB2.

Do you want "JOB1" to be written into a file?

Do you really want to submit JOB2 or are you only trying to get the name of the currently executing job? There are REXX and COBOL samples out here to do that. EZACFSM1 doesn't do that.

hello,

Yes, i want JOB1 to be written into PS file. But I thought EZACFSM1 can also do this. But anyways let me know how a COBOL pgm can do this.

Follow erico's example with '&JOBNAME' but direct SYSOUT to a dataset.

Hi,

Use of EZACFSM1 was some what new for me, after Enrico's reply did a little search on this, got to learn enough new. Found a link describing the symbols used, might be usable for someone else as well -

I tried the JOB to do what is being discussed in this thread -

If you used ISPF 3.2 to create the file it probably stays allocated as enrico said. You can use TSO command FREE FILE(ddname) to unallocate it.
