I have no idea what you're talking about.

why not look at the manual Yourself?

@mrspock: it was the assignment given to me....
i want to know how to give password option in our jcl program....

In that case: read the manual. It has an index so you can look up PASSWORD and go to the relevant page and read all about it and any restrictions. We have given you the direction so now it is up to you to do the work. Mr Spock has even given you links to the manual. I would go to the second link first. There is also a search facility when you are in the manual reader - click on the torch icon.

By the way a topic title of JCL is not descriptive of your requirement when it is in a section of the forum titled JCL. You obviously did not read the forum rules - do this BEFORE looking up the manuals to find out about passwords. Also, the term 'JCL program' is incorrect. The term JCL is often good enough otherwise PROCEDURE or DECK, the latter being a hangover from when JCL was punched on cards - a deck of cards.

Pardon - Enrico gave the links.

forum rules says:

Make your topic title meaningful and descriptive. Do not use words such as 'Urgent'/ 'Please'/ 'Help!' or 'Important' in your subject line. Don't use the Forum name as your topic title. In a nutshell, provide as much relevant information as possible you have

I guess no one bothers to read the rules .... and follow them!

I got to thinking this may be only indirectly a JCL issue. The original issue may be a password outside of JCL, in an FTP command stream for example.

It was not part of the original post, but if a password is required, then a userid is also probably required if it really is a JCL issue, as opposed to something like an FTP command stream.

I also got to thinking, is the original poster preparing input on real punched cards (remember them?), when a userid and password are probably required. Finding a real card reader to use with those real punched cards may be difficult! The last 2540 I can remember myself was phased out in the middle 1990s, and it was mostly used for punching cards, though given the intended use of those punched cards I suppose they were read using the 2540 after more stuff was manually punched into the cards.

Well, after all the abuse we gave the original post, we may never know.

Me thinks it's a simple case of using USER and PASSWORD in Job-card and that's it:

anuj..
really thx for ur ans...
