Hello,

I recently started to try out the functionalities of the utility CTMAPI and I wanted to know if it is possible to force JOB A if JOB B is not in AJF.

I've tried to use ORDER with the IF selection-criteria but it doesn't seem to work.

JCL:

//**********************************************************************

//CTMAPI EXEC  PGM=CTMAPI,REGION=0M                                  

// INCLUDE MEMBER=&IOAENV                                      

//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=&OUT                                              

//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=&OUT                                              

//DAPRINT  DD SYSOUT=&OUT                                              

//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=&OUTDUMP                                          

//DAAPI    DD DDNAME=SYSIN                                             

   ORDER DSN=My_Sched_Lib MEMBER=My_Table JOB=JOB_A, -     

      ODATE=%%IODATE FORCE IF (MEM=JOB_B AND STATUS=NOTEXIST)                                               

//

//**********************************************************************

Can I actually do what I want with the CTMAPI? How do I pass the value, if possible, of a SEARCH or AJF instruction to another instruction in the same SYSIN.

That is, imagine I had a SEARCH instruction (SEARCH MEM=JOB_B STATUS=EXIST) and that it returned C0004 for the JOB_B does not exist in AJF , could I pass this to an IF?

Something like:

SEARCH MEM=JOB_B STATUS=EXIST = C0004 ORDER DSN... FORCE...

Thank you!
