Creating a Variant Substitution Using GENERATE VARDEF Command - z/OS
SAP variants often have many parameters. Manually creating Universal Connector variant definitions can be tedious and time consuming.
Universal Connector offers a function that generates a complete variant definition based on a pre-existing template variant on the SAP system. The generated variant definition then can be used with a Universal Connector SUBMIT or MODIFY command to prepare a variant for a job run.
The following example demonstrates the use of the GENERATE VARDEF command.
//USPGEN1 JOB CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//*****************************************************************
//* Description
//* -----------
//* This sample generates a USAP variant definition based on a
//* pre-existing template variant on an SAP system.
//*
//* NOTE: This job assumes (and requires) that a variant named SBT1
//* exists for ABAP program RSBDCSUB.
//*
// JCLLIB ORDER=#SHLQ.UNV.SUNVSAMP
//*
//STEP1 EXEC USPPRC
//SYSIN DD *
