Combining two jobs into one

Hi Friends,

I have the following scenario.

There is one job performing NDM (getting file from server to mainframe).

The second Job is processing the file.

I want to combine the two jobs into a single job.

I tried to combine into a single job. The following is the problem I am facing.

The NDM step copies the file into GDG. I have used the the same file in the job using (+1) version. But the job ran by taking previous version (-1). I have tried by keeping (0) version. but it is showing file not present.

Note: the two jobs call different proc's

Please help me.

Let me know if the query is not understandable.

Thanks
Kiran

Ths JCL is as follows:

This concept is never going to work. You need to re-think your approach. Keeping the two jobs is the best option, in my opinion.

Hi Kiran,

I am not sure wether the following logic works or not. You can give a try if you want to.

" Instead of copying the job directly into GDG, copy it to a temporary dataset(like &&sample) and pass it to the next step and prcoess it. Then you just add a simple copy step(using the utility IEBGENER) at the end of job to copt the data present in the temp dataset to GDG"

Once again, I am not sure wether it actually works or not. It is upto you to decide wether to give a try to it or not.

If you give a try to this, please let me know wether it has worked or not.

Thanks
Vijay

Could you post how exactly you refer your file in proc KHRU1923 and in KHRU1924?
