Not an answer to your question, but have you looked at the JCL statements SYSTEM, SYSAFF or SCHENV?

Currently, the procedure has one step. This step receives input from SYSIN DD * I was asked to add a step that would check that the JOB is running on the correct LPAR. I wrote a small REXX program that check the LPAR, and returns condition code 8 if it's not running on the correct LPAR. I then added an if statement that will run the original step if the previous condition code is 0, and if not will issue a message. The problem is that now the SYSIN DD is allocated to the first step. I know I can code STEP.SYSIN to associate the SYSIN with correct step, but was wondering if there a way to code the procedure in a way so that I won't require changing the way the procedure is used.
