Capturing Job Output Using SDSF
It is relatively straight-forward to capture the job output for a single
job in batch. Say that you have a job called MYJOB and you want to
put the output into a dataset ABC.LIST.
<![CDATA[
//BATCH EXEC PGM=SDSF,DYNAMNBR=32,REGION=1024K,TIME=5
//ISFOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//REPORT DD DISP=(,CATLG),DSN=&SYSUID..ABC.LIST,
// SPACE=(CYL,(1,1)),RECFM=FB,LRECL=133,BLKSIZE=0
//ISFIN DD *
ST MYJOB
PRINT FILE REPORT
FIND 'MYJOB'
++XC
//
]]>
ST MYJOB displays all the jobs with jobname MYJOB. PRINT FILE REPORT
opens DDNAME REPORT for the output from the SDSF PRINT commands.
++XC says to use the XC (print and close) line command. In batch mode,
you need to have a successful FIND command to position the following
line command. You can use other SDSF filter commands such as OWNER or
FILTER control the display. The SELECT command allows you to pick the
job by job number.
But, what if you want to capture several jobs called MYJOB submitted
under a specific userid, PRODUSR?
Here is how you might do that, using SDSF block print commands:
<![CDATA[
//BATCH EXEC PGM=SDSF,DYNAMNBR=32,REGION=1024K,TIME=5
//ISFOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//REPORT DD DISP=(,CATLG),DSN=&SYSUID..ABC.LIST,
// SPACE=(CYL,(1,1)),RECFM=FB,LRECL=133,BLKSIZE=0
//ISFIN DD *
OWNER PRODUSR
ST MYJOB
PRINT FILE REPORT
FIND 'MYJOB'
++//X
FIND 'MYJOB' LAST
++//
PRINT CLOSE
//
]]>
The first FIND command selects the first job of the block; the second
FIND command selects the last job.
You can use other filtering commands to control the jobs to be displayed, so this technique can be applied to situations where the
jobs do not have the same name. You can even use the SDSF SORT command to
change the sequence in which the jobs appear. A good way to check out your SDSF filters is to try them from TSO.
