Not just SORT. I have several jobs where I like to use inline data. This was a pain before the SYMLIST stuff. e.g. here's my SPUFI job now: // EXPORT SYMLIST=* //*SET VER='10',SSID='DB2X' //*SET VER='11',SSID='DB2U' // SET VER='12',SSID='DB2' //DSNTIST EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,DYNAMNBR=20 //STEPLIB DD DSN=DBI.DB2.V&VER..SDSNLOAD,DISP=SHR //SYSTSIN DD *,SYMBOLS=JCLONLY DSN SYSTEM(&SSID.) RUN PROGRAM(DSNTEP2) PLAN(DSNTEP&VER.) - LIB('DBI.DB2.V&VER..RUNLIB.LOAD') END /* //SYSIN DD *,SYMBOLS=JCLONLY SELECT * FROM DSN8&VER.10.PRODUCT FOR FETCH ONLY /* All I need to do is change the comment and run a different version of DB2. -- Don Poitras - SAS Development - SAS Institute Inc. - SAS Campus Drive sas...@sas.com (919) 531-5637 Cary, NC 27513 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
