How of override PGM parameter

stly · Active User Joined: 25 Jul 2005 Posts: 103

I have a proc which contains 3 steps.

step1 executes pgm=pgm1
step2 executes pgm=pgm2

In the Main jcl i have to override pgm2 with pgm5.

Is this possible?

Hi,
unless the PGM name is passed as a symbolic parameter, this would require a change to the PROC.

[/quote]Is pgm5 really just another version of pgm2? If it is, you could link this version of pgm2 into some other load lib and override the steplib dd for that step so the replacement module would be executed.

Dick's point is:
If you are switching between a production version of PGM2 and a test version of PGM2 put the test version in a different library but the same name (PGM2). The STEPLIB is easily overridden on a PROC.

You're welcome

Just keep in mind that unless it is defined ahead of time as a symbolic parameter, the pgm= module name cannot be overridden at run-time.
