how are you submitting the job? you can make a macro that will trap the name and submit the jcl. but then you will have to open it in edit/view mode.

I want to know the PDS name before hand( before submitting the JCL).Is there any system static variable(like &SYSUID) which gives me the PDS name from where I am submitting the JCL.

I understand that you want to write a JCL which on execution will be able to tell the name of its PDS.

I have another question - Is it possible to write a program in any language to tell the name of its source file on execution. If yes, I would like to see the corresponding code.

Regards,
Dibakar.

Venkataramana,

I know it's very late but still for sake of completion, this has a REXX code to do the stuff, which you can put in you job.
