Submitting to the internal reader from jobs or tasks

Figure 1 shows a step from a job (or task) that submits a job to the internal reader.

//STEP9     EXEC  PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT  DD    SYSOUT=Z
//SYSUT2    DD    SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSIN     DD    DUMMY
//SYSUT1    DD    DATA,DLM=XX
//MYJOB1    JOB   ACCT,VAZQUEZ,CLASS=A
//STEP1     EXEC  PGM=CRUSHER

Step 9 writes the JCL that follows the STEP9 SYSUT1 card (up to the XX which acts as a delimiter) to a SYSOUT data set used as input to the INTRDR program.

If the ACB interface was used to open the internal reader, you can use the ENDREQ macro to complete the submission of jobs. For more information about coding the ENDREQ macro, see z/OS DFSMS Macro Instructions for Data Sets and z/OS V2R1.0 Communications Server: SNA Programming. For more information about JES control statement processing, see JES control statements that affect the internal reader.
