Issue/Introduction

Is it possible to allow the use of a single RUNPARM across several LPARS utilizing the  IF statement  in the RUNPARM of GSS?

Environment

Jobtrac 11.0

GSS

 

Resolution

The GSS RUNPARM does not have direct support for IF statements like:

IF &SYSNAME=AMVS

INCLUDE INSIGHTA // Include ADDRESS for CA-Insight for DB2

IF &SYSNAME=BMVS

INCLUDE INSIGHTB // Include ADDRESS for CA-Insight for DB2

 

However the following method could be used:

SYMBOLS ON

INCLUDE &SYSNAME.INS // Include ADDRESS for CA-Insight for DB2

 The “SYMBOLS ON" is place near the start of the RUNPARM so that it is active for the rest of the processing.  The “SYMBOLS ON” statement allows the use of the IBM system symbols.  The IBM “DISPLAY SYMBOLS” console command can be used to see the symbols and their values on the system where it is executed.
