Hi All,

Is there any command to see the SYSIN data which we used to run a JOB from IOF?

Thanks

JSP

Praveen,

You can set the Primary command to display sysin datasets on the panel. Input data sets are not normally displayed unless the job is on input.

Syntax

Kolusu,

Thanks for the response, with INPUT ON, I'm able to see the data which I use as instream ( using DD *) but I'm not able to find the data which is there inside a control card member.

Say If I have a dynamic control card which gets updated every day, I want to see the data which it had on a particular run. Is this possible?

Thanks

JSP

JSP,
Change the JCL, add an IEBGENER step and copy the 'Dynamic control card' which I assume is a temporary dataset to the same output class as your MSGCLASS and you can view/print as required.

Rainer,

I want to see the control card data of a JOB which was already executed. I can't go and look at the control card which is there at present since it would've changed because of some other jobs, or is it possible ? Confused

Thanks

JSP

JSP,
Position the IEBGENER either just after the data is created or just before it is used. The output will be with the job just run so it cannot change after that, use SDSF and the contents as used by that run will be seen.

Rainer,

Yes this will work for the new Jobs. But I have a couple of jobs which were already executed and they are in IOF, will I be able to see the control card data which it used when it was run?

Thanks

JSP

Praveen,

Is your dynamic control concatenated to your instream data?? for ex:

js_praveen · Beginner Joined: 09 Jan 2003 Posts: 20 Topics: 7

No it is just

//SYSIN DD DSN=YOUR DYNAMIC CONTROL CARD,
// DISP=SHR

For jobs that have already run you will not be able to see the data. It is gone! finished! Kaput! Crying or Very sad

I suppose that if you have SDSF you could type SJ next to the jobname after it was run and see the jobstream that was submitted. I believe that would include the instream data.

CaptBill,
Helpful hint, but as praveen mentioned above his case was not instream but a dataset.

It didn't work in IOF!!

For control cards in datasets, use R.Nickel suggestion above about adding a GENER step just before the pgm to list the cards (or change your pgm to list the cards being processed).
