Introduction
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

This suite of programs will describe how to submit a second job to the internal reader or INTRDR from within the currently running job using a COBOL program. For this example the second job (or submitted job) simply executes IEFBR14 with a return to the caller.

The source code, data sets and documentation are provided in a single zipped file called CBLSUB01.ZIP. This zipped file may be downloaded from the SimoTime Web site. In the Windows environment the file names have file extensions. If the JCL member is uploaded to a ZOS Mainframe from the Windows and Micro Focus environment the file extension is dropped.

Example 01, Simple Job Submit
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

This example contains two (2) JCL members. The first JCL member uses executes a COBOL program that will submit a job to the internal reader.

The second JCL member uses IEFBR14 to return to caller and is submitted by the COBOL program being executed by the first job.

Example 01, JCL Member to Submit a Job to the Internal Reader
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The following mainframe JCL (CBLSUBJ1.JCL) executes a COBOL program that will submit a job to the Internal Reader. The COBOL program is coded to read an 80-byte record sequential file (JCLINPUT) and write to an 80-byte record sequential file (SUBTORDR). The COBOL program is a simply file copy. The DD statements map the COBOL file names to the actual physical locations. The file to be copied is JCLINPUT and the output file is SUBTORDR. The JCLINPUT file is member of a partitioned data set (PDS) that contains JCL. The SUBTORDR file is mapped to SYSOUT=(,INTRDR) and is copies the JCLINPUT to the internal reader (or submitts the job to the internal reader).

Example 01, Sample COBOL Program
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The following COBOL program (CBLSUBC1.JCL) will submit a job to the Internal Reader. The COBOL program is coded to read an 80-byte record sequential file (JCLINPUT) and write to an 80-byte record sequential file (SUBTORDR). The COBOL program is a simply file copy. The DD statements in the JCL map the COBOL file names to the actual physical locations. The file to be copied is JCLINPUT and the output file is SUBTORDR. The JCLINPUT file is member of a partitioned data set (PDS) that contains JCL. The SUBTORDR file is mapped to SYSOUT=(,INTRDR) and this copies the JCLINPUT to the internal reader (or submitts the job to the internal reader).

Example 02, Job Submit & Modify JCL
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

This example contains two (2) JCL members. The first JCL member uses executes a COBOL program that will submit a job to the internal reader. The JCL (or source code for the JOB script) will be modified prior to submission.

The second JCL member uses IEFBR14 to return to caller and is submitted by the COBOL program being executed by the first job.

Example 02, JCL to Submit a Job to the Internal Reader
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The following mainframe JCL (CBLSUBJ2.JCL) executes a COBOL program that will submit a job to the Internal Reader. The COBOL program is coded to read an 80-byte record sequential file (JCLINPUT) and write to an 80-byte record sequential file (SUBTORDR). The COBOL program is a simply file copy. The DD statements map the COBOL file names to the actual physical locations. The file to be copied is JCLINPUT and the output file is SUBTORDR. The JCLINPUT file is member of a partitioned data set (PDS) that contains JCL. The SUBTORDR file is mapped to SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR) and is copies the JCLINPUT to the internal reader (or submitts the job to the internal reader).

Example 02, COBOL Program
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The following COBOL program (CBLSUBC2.JCL) will submit a job to the Internal Reader. The COBOL program is coded to read an 80-byte record sequential file (JCLINPUT) and write to an 80-byte record sequential file (SUBTORDR). The COBOL program is a simply file copy. The DD statements in the JCL map the COBOL file names to the actual physical locations. The file to be copied is JCLINPUT and the output file is SUBTORDR. The JCLINPUT file is member of a partitioned data set (PDS) that contains JCL. The SUBTORDR file is mapped to SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR) and this copies the JCLINPUT to the internal reader (or submits the job to the internal reader).

The following program will scan the JCL records looking for the CLASS= text string based on the PARM= data passed from JCL. The CLASS will be changed accoeding to the information in the PARM= parameter.

Summary
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The purpose of this suite of programs is to describe how to submit a second job from within the currently running job that executes a COBOL program to copy a JCL member to the internal reader (INTRDR). The COBOL program has access to each JCL statement and may modify the JCL prior to writing the record to the internal reader. When the file that is mapped to the internal reader is closed the JCL is submitted for execution.

We have a team of individuals that understand the broad range of technologies being used in today's environments. This includes the smallest thin client using the Internet and the very large mainframe systems. There is more to making the Internet work for your company's business than just having a nice looking WEB site. It is about combining the latest technologies and existing technologies with practical business experience. It's about the business of doing business and looking good in the process. Quite often, to reach larger markets or provide a higher level of service to existing customers it requires the newer Internet technologies to work in a complementary manner with existing corporate mainframe systems. Whether you want to use the Internet to expand into new market segments or as a delivery vehicle for existing business functions simply give us a call or check the web site at http://www.simotime.com
