Submitting Job to SAP Using SAP Job as Template - z/OS

This example illustrates submitting a job to an SAP system using a pre-existing SAP job as a template for the submitted job.

//USPSUB1  JOB CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X,NOTIFY=&SYSUID                     
//*****************************************************************
//* Description
//* -----------
//* This sample will submit a new job to an SAP system using a
//* pre-existing SAP job as a template.
//*
//* NOTE: This job assumes (and requires) that a job already
//* exists on an the SAP system with:
//* Job Name: USPSUB1
//* Job ID: 12345678
//*
//* After running this job, a new SAP job will be created on the
//* SAP system. The new job will have the same name as the
//* pre-existing job that was used as a template. However, the
//* SAP system will assign a new job ID.
//*
// JCLLIB ORDER=#SHLQ.UNV.SUNVSAMP
//*
//STEP1 EXEC USPPRC
//SYSIN DD *
-dest CF5
