Change to generated JCL out of PGM=HSICCSI

The issue was discussed at the last IZSAM workshop in Frankfurt/Main, Germany and I was asked to create an idea for it:

Currently the CSI report generates IQ-JCL which is pretty much hard coded and therefore not so useful for us.

Instead provide the possibility to direct the SYSIN part of the generated jcl to a SYSOUT dataset.

Right now we store the entire generated jcl in a tmp SYSOUT dataset and extract the SYSIN part via DFSORT for the next step (IQ).

If this SYSIN part could be directly stored in a sysout dataset we could feed it right away as SYSIN to the next step (IQ) of our own customized GKB notification job – no “extraction” needed.

Of course it could be optional, either “entire JCL” (as is) or “SYSIN lines only”, controlled e.g. by different DD names or an option.

Regards,
Wolfgang Prescher
