Does Endevor support REFERBACK coded in a Processor?

Products

• Endevor

Issue/Introduction

Test JCL which created the temporary file as:

//SYSUT2    DD DISP=(NEW,PASS,DELETE),         

//             LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=0,RECFM=FB,    

//             SPACE=(TRK,(1,5),RLSE)          

 

Then referenced in a later step as:

//SYSUT1    DD DSN=*.TEST01.SYSUT2,            

//             VOL=REF=*.TEST01.SYSUT2,        

 

In standard JCL this did work and produced two unique temporary datasets:

SYS19330.T101818.RA000.########.R0545973

SYS19330.T101818.RA000.########.R0747508             

 

Can REFERBACK be used in an Endevor Processor and expect it to act in the same way?

REFERBACK being used in an Endevor Processor it is not supported 

Endevor processors support the EXEC statement, but they do not support backward reference (REFERBACK), or these EXEC statement parameters:

• ACCT
• ADDRSPC
• CCSID 
• DYNAMNBR
• MEMLIMIT
• PARMDD 
• PERFORM
• PROC
• RD
• REGION
• REGIONX
• RLS
• TMOUT 
• TIME
