it was interesting to test this "filename pipe" for job status.
I commented out the 'if...' filter and used my userId as jobname
However, although the sas code worked, it was executing /
pipe-ing the command , not to jes, but to OS/390 Unix
+FSVIEW: WORK.DATA1 (B)----------------------------------------
! Obs retline

! 1 *=====================================================
! 2 *
! 3 * OS/390 Unix System Services

! 5 * connected to system E004 Release
! 6 *
! 7 *=====================================================
! 8 setting up timezone...
! 9 setting up aliases ...
! 10 setting up environment ...
! 11 export: /etc/profile 74: FSUM7354 ":/tools:.:/usr/lpp/hpj/bin" is not
!
I'm sure the sas-l archives have a way of executing jes/sdsf
in batch and issuing sdsf commands output to a file.
I'm not sure if that is possible through a pipe, but it
might be possible in the way external progs can be
run in sas on os/390, just like proc ftp !
i.e. something along the lines....
1 allocate filenames for the files needed by sdsf-in-batch
2 write the status commands to the input file for sdsf
3 submit proc sdsf; run;
4 decode the files output from sdsf-in-batch
has anyone donee this already ?

One poster suggested using the ST (status) command. This could (I
think, although I've never done it on MVS) be included in a filename
pipe, something like this:
%let jobname = XX1232ABC ;
filename status pipe "Status &jobname" ;
data ;
infile status truncover;
input retline $100. ;
if index(retline,'EXECUTING') then
/* action to avoid continuing, e.g. set a symbolic variable */
run;
If this isn't valid on MVS, you'd perhaps need a REXX program to read
the return value instead.
