    You can inline an XML template in the JCL where the criteria can simply be updated as follows. The DD will be determined by the function you run.
    The XML templates can be used directly into the function.

    Example

    //PINTL EXEC PGM=FILEMGR
    //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
    //TCIN DD DATA

    FMN.COBOL














    /*
    //SYSIN DD *
    $$FILEM DSP DSNIN=hlq.MYDATA,FORMAT=TABL
    /*
