 |
|
Hello,
I am using PL/1 as a application language. My Jcl calls a pgm, which checks the input Dataset whether the input dataset is empty or not. Instead of doing that in a application pgm, can I do it in JCL itself? When the input dataset/file (represented as DD name of Jcl) is empty then bypass that step, or abend the job like that... If possible, it will be very helpful to me to change a production version.
One more question, can we use the jcl's catalog information in a application program like pl/i?? For eg.. printing/accessing file's volume, block size, referenced&created date etc.. etc.. in a application language(PL/1)...
Thanks in advance for your answer(s).

You can call IDCAMS from Pl/i to issue Listcat against the dataset and parse the information from that.
