Defining the source code data set (SYSIN)

Define the data set that contains your source code by using the SYSIN DD statement as shown below.

About this task


//SYSIN  DD  DSNAME=dsname,UNIT=SYSSQ,VOLUME=(subparms),DISP=SHR

You can place your source code or BASIS statement directly in the input stream. To do so, use this SYSIN DD statement:


//SYSIN  DD  *

The source code or BASIS statement must follow the DD * statement. If another job step follows the compilation, the EXEC statement for that step must follow the /* statement or the last source statement.
