Hi,

Good Day,

I have designed a tool to generate the compilation and bind JCL’s automatically through REXX code.

To make it fully automatic, I need to do the new copy also through a REXX EXEC.

Could someone please advice, how this could be achieved through REXX?

Possibilities other than REXX are also desired.

Do you require more information on this, please let me a note.

Hello,

If your tool does not use the system standard compile/bind jcl, suggest you make the modifications such that your tool will use the standard jcl. When the standard jcl changes and your tool does not, there may be very ugly problems. . .

There are tools for a batch job to issue cics commands. Suggest you speak with your cics system support to find out if any of these are available on your system.

Hi Scherrer,

Thanks a lot for the information provided. I will take this up with the CICS team.

Alternatively, could you please let me know whether EXCI could be of some help in doing NEW COPY through REXX EXEC?

Once again Thanking you for your prompt & quick reply.

Can you not invoke the required program(s) through REXX

Just as an aside, if this is a REXX question is there any specific reason that you posted in the JCL forum ?

Hi Expat,

I apologise for this. Since I had in mind over executing this REXX Exec through a JCL, I wrongly placed it in JCL forum.

Please let me know if this could be done through the JCL.

Thanks in Anticipation.

Hi Praelay,

Is your REXX is producing a JCL that you will finally submit in batch? If so please ask your local people.
Any CICS src implementation needs a newcopy and in most cases it is done though some standard job (if you are not bouncing the CICS every time).
Take that job and incorporate it in your REXX output jcl
