Thread: Jcl

what are multiple Symbolic parameters?can we have multiple symbolic parameters in a single jcl.if so explain with an example

symbolic parameter is used in a JCL program for a parameter that changes its value in the program.

the default value of a symbolic parameters is coded in the proc statement.

the overrided values of the symbolic parameters are coded in EXEC statement.

the multiple symbolic parameters can be coded in a JCL.


EX.

Procedure: //test PROC A=PAYROLL,DP=OLD,D2=KEEP,U=CYL,S=10
//S1 EXEC PGM=&A,TIME=(1,30)
//A DD DSN=OUTPUT,DISP=&DP
//S2 EXEC PGM=SAMPLE
//B DD DSN=INPUT,DISP=(NEW,&D2,&D2),
SPACE=(&U,(&10,&10)),
DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=800)
