[hercules-390] Availability of &SYSUID

[[e-mail] [hercules-390]]

Hi guys

I'm trying to use &SYSUID in my NOTIFY= JCL jobcard, but am getting a JCL error:

IEF672I INCORRECT USE OF AMPERSAND IN NOTIFY STATEMENT

My JCL is fine without

NOTIFY=&SYSUID that is: NOTIFY=HERC01 works just fine.

Does anyone know if MVS3.8j (Tk4- update 8) should allow for this macro expansion, or if there's something I have to do to make &SYSUID available?

Thanks

Pete

expansion, or if there's something I have to do to make &SYSUID available?

Isn't the error message answer enough? I remember it being available in
OS/390, but don't know exactly when it was introduced.

Yes, TK4- update 8 has Greg Price's ZP60034 applied.

Hi Scott


thanks for mentioning. Yes, ZP60034 will solve the OP's problem. However, this usermod is not on TK4- Update 08 (it came out half a year later). It will be in Update 09, so you might have seen it in my online system already, which basically is the master for the next update...



Cheers

Thanks JÃŒrgen and Scott for the update. I was wondering whether it was a problem with my setup (perhaps a TSO logon CLIST not defining SYSUID), but it sounds like it's a known issue (in fact I wonder if I could make that change to get SYSUID available?).

@Gerhard - I recall it being available in MVS years ago too, so thought it must have been part of the 'normal' system configuration back then as well.

At my installation I made a number of changes to the reader/interpreter.
For example, a data set name beginning with a period was prefixed by the
user id (TSO submitter or programmer name on JOB card), replaced #### by
the step number (to ensure uniqueness where IBM PROCs didn't, and other
goodies). We didn't use RACF (before it became available), so didn't
need the SYSUID.

This reminds me - there was a mod floating around in the 1970s that
changed the super annoying message "IEFxxxI SUBSTITUTION JCL" to just
replace the // with && (by analogy with XX and ++), and keep things
aligned as much as possible.

Is that one around somewhere? I believe we got it from the Technion in
Israel around 1977.

The author, AFAIK, is Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz, who worked at ADR, the
Technion, and then AMS (where I picked it up)

The AMS version is in AMS.SRC (posted by7 Paul Gorlinsky) in one of the
file areas. The MVT version is:
*
++ ZAP (IEFVFB) .
NAME IEFVHA IEFVFB
*
* REPLACE IEF653I SUBSTITUTION JCL MESSAGE BY &&
