<><<><<<><><><<><> cross posting of ISPF-L<><><><><><><><><><>


After designing skeleton the JCL are having symbol like &,<> etc File
tailoring understand them to be variable and try to substitute value
and hence I get issue while generating JCL ..

Line from skeleton: - //* WITHIN 90 DAYS & ALLOCATION > 1000
CYL
Variable name error - Invalid variable name, STSKEL34
record-13

I looked at )Default,)IM & )NOP �however doesn�t look like to be
helping ..Do we have some parameter using which it do not scan anymore
proceeding JCL statement?

I don't think && will be helpful; JCL includes such constructs.

The NOFT parameter on )IM should be what you want.

Any of the characters <, | (vertical bar), &, and > can be escaped in an
ISPF file tailoring skeleton by doubling the character. In the case of
a temporary file reference in JCL (e.g. DSN=&&FILE) you need to put four
ampersands (&) in your skeleton like so: DSN=&&&&FILE. File tailoring
will leave only one of each pair in the tailored file. I have used ISPF
to tailor REXX execs that are full of these characters with a 100%
success rate when this simple rule is followed. Hope this helps.

There are two ways to do this.

The first is to double up the characters that have a special meaning to file-tailoring.

The second is to use the )DEFAULT control statement. Try this one; )DEFAULT #\@{|}

For variables you want substitution to occur on preface them with \ instead of &. If you do something like )IM it will need to be coded as #IM. See the ISPF Dialog Developers Guide for more information about file-tailoring skeletons.
