Submit a program with two variants

[Former Member]

Hi all,

There is one program which needs to run everyday with two different variants

( For this i need to have two jobs ).

Now, i need to write a new program which submits the above program with two variants. How do i do it?

Thanks

You don't need two jobs, you can have 1 job with two steps, each step would call the progam with the different variant.

If you want to write a program which submits the program twice with two different variants, you can use the SUBMIT statement. Here VARIANT1 is the name of a variant.

SUBMIT ZREPORT01

USING SELECTION-SET 'VARIANT1'

AND RETURN.

Hi Rich,

But i need two jobs which run at different times.

Oh I see, anyway you can use the SUBMIT statement in your program to submit the program with the variant of choice.

SUBMIT ZREPORT01 
USING SELECTION-SET 'VARIANT1' 
AND RETURN.

I am assuming that you still want to execute the program twice, once with different variant.

If that is the case, use SUBMIT Program twice, with different variants and call the SUBMIT from the new program.

If you want to get the variant names at run time, look at RSVARIANT function modules.
