Hi,

Is it possible to submit a JCL from different user id using REXX program.

Explannation:

I want to submit a jcl 'Test.sample.jcl(sample1)' from USER ID xxxxxx by uing REXX program from any USER ID.
Can anyone please help me with a sample code to achieve the above requirement.

Thanks in advance,
Priya.

Code the USER= and PASSWORD= on the job card, and you won't need a REXX solution.

Thanks Robert.

But I need to do this by using REXX. Can you please help me in doing that. I want to submit the REXX program which in turn has to submit the JCL.

Thanks in advance,
Priya.

You will probably need to talk to your site security people regarding surrogate user authority.

RACF, and presumably the other security packages, will propagate the user id from the submitter into the submitted job. You cannot override this process with REXX. You can include the USER= and PASSWORD= on the job card, or you can accept that it is not possible to do what you want to do. Your choice.

Hello,

Suggest you talk with your security admins if this process is to be submitted by multiple people that do not have the access permissions necessary to run it. . . You should also tell them that you may embed a "more powerful" user-id and password in visable form. . .

You can queue up the job statements and then submit using SUBMIT command.

uid=xxxxx
pword=pppppp

QUEUE "//Jobname JOB CLASS=P,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),TIME=(30,00),"
QUEUE "// USERID="uid",PASSWORD="pword" "
........

But you should have the authority to use others Userid and password.

It is unclear if you are asking

a) Can I submit a job under someone other user's ID,
or
b) Can I create JCL that can be submitted via a REXX script that can be run by any individual.

scenario a is a very unusual request and very likely to never be approved in any reasonably secure z/OS environment.

scenario b is very common and is quite simple. The only thing to overcome is the JOBNAME parameter on the JOB card.

Select all

Priya86 Go talk with your security admin people.

Other code posters What is it with all of this crap of building a JCL deck instream, have you not taken the time to investigate ISPF file tailoring.
