I am trying to allocate a new Dataset using the Jobname in the Qualifier.
//JOBNAME JOB ACCOUNT,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//DD1 DD DSN=MY.DS.&JOBNAME.,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// SPACE=(TRK,(10,10)),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=3200),
// UNIT=SYSDA
However, I always get a JCL Error "incorrect use of Ampersand in the DSN Field". Is it not allowed to use the Jobname in a Qualifier? The Parameter is correctly resolved in the Qualifier. I could not find any information on it. Any help would be appreciated.
The jobclass that your job ran should be defined with SYSSYM=ALLOW , so that dynamic system symbols are converted.
This can be queried with the command $DJOBCLASS(*),SYSSYM
and set with The $TJOBCLASS(x),SYSSYM=ALLOW
Alternatively you can try the system symbol &SYSJOBNM
ie //DD1 DD DSN=MY.DS.&SYSJOBNM.,
