Hi Rajesh Scheduling products are not my area of expertise but I do recall that they have symbol substitution capabilities ahead of job submission, and I think date and time options fall within their realm.
If this is the case and this is a production job it may be worth talking to the Scheduling Team about what any product you have may do for you, it should negate any need for code in any language if my memories are accurate. Note that others have pointed out that wildcards are not pertinent to JCL, and in fact is an incorrect term as wildcard is generally associated with some form of filter process, whereas your require appears to be variable substitution within a DD Statement for which the correct term would be symbols (or in the IBM JCL manual Symbol Parameters) Kind Regards - Terry Director KMS-IT Limited 228 Abbeydale Road South Dore Sheffield S17 3LA UK Reg : 3767263 Outgoing e-mails have been scanned, but it is the recipients responsibility to ensure their anti-virus software is up to date. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
