Hi All,

I have two procs PROC1 and PROC2 in a Job. A dataset DS1 is created in tape in proc PROC1.Now I want to create another file DS2 in PROC2 which should refer the tape Volume parameter of DS1 in PROC1.

I tried in PROC2 for DS2 dataset as
Code:

VOL=(,RETAIN,REF=*.PROC1.STEP030.SORTOUT),


but it says invalid volume parameter.

Any suggestion please

Bravo,

The correct syntax is

Code:

REF=*.stepname.procstepname.ddname


Hope this helps...

Cheers

As per your suggestion I tried the same and got an error.

Here the JCL..

Code:


//PROD010  EXEC PROC1   
//PROD015  EXEC PROC2   
//*                     


Here are proc1

Code:


//STEP030  EXEC PGM=SORT                                 
//SORTIN    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXX.YYY       
//SORTOUT   DD DSN=XXX.YYY.OUTFIL1,         
//             DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),                   
//             UNIT=TAPE80,VOL=(,RETAIN)                 
//SYSOUT    DD SYSOUT=*                                   
//SYSIN   DD DSN=XXX.YYY.DDD(SRTCPY),DISP=SHR       
//*                                                       



Here is the PROC2

Code:

//STEP035  EXEC PGM=SORT                                     
//SORTIN    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXX.YYY
//SORTOUT   DD DSN=XXX.YYY.OUTFIL2,             
//             DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),                     
//             UNIT=TAPE80,                                 
//             VOL=(,RETAIN,REF=*.STEP035.STEP030.SORTOUT), 
//             LABEL=(2,SL),EXPDT=99000                     
//SYSOUT    DD SYSOUT=*                                     
//SYSIN   DD DSN=XXX.YYY.DDD(SRTCPY),DISP=SHR       
//*                                                         


Error msg
IEF645I INVALID REFERBACK IN THE REF SUBPARAMETER OF THE VOLUME FIELD


Please correct me if I'm wrong

Problem is resolved.

I have mistakenly referred PROC1 rather than the STEPNAME that executes the PROC1.

its

Code:
REF=*.PROCSTEPNAME.STEPNAME.DDNAME


i.e

Code:
REF=*.PROD010.STEP030.SORTOUT


Thanks for the hint
