Re: Using variables instead of constants in AJS

Hi Paul

I don't know about doing this in AJS but there's no reason you can't design
the CL so it can re-run from a designated sequence number.
Just add sequence as a parameter to the CL and then put a sequence tag
against the restores in the CL.
If no sequence is specified default the program to start from the beginning.

I have several scheduled jobs that perform 20 RSTLIBBRM with Save level .

100 RSTLIBBRM SAVLIB(BRCPGMS) DEV(TAPMLB01) SAVLVL(*CURRENT)
110 RSTLIBBRM SAVLIB(BRCPGMSN) DEV(TAPMLB01) SAVLVL(*CURRENT)

95% of the time, Save level *Current is ok.
There are times when Save level needs to be changed to SAVDATE followed by
a date.
Cumbersome to change every sequence.
I would like to change the RSTLIBBRM, make save level a variable, load it
once in the beginning of the job.

Is this possible within AJS?
I know it is possible if I put all the RSTLIBBRM in a CL.
Not the preferred solution.
If the job ever fails, the convenience of being able to restart the job a
specified sequence is a requirement.
If not is there another solution?

Thank You
