Documentation
This edit macro is designed to re-order the label numbers in JCL for multiple
datasets stacked on a single tape. It is designed for times when a job abends
and you need to start stacking datasets at a new job step beyond the one that
originally had the label of "1".
To execute this, you pass the number of the label which should now become "1".
RELABEL finds that label and renumbers all subsequent labels so that they are
incremented properly. It also works with multiple output DD's in a single step
which all need to have the same label number. Multiple output DD's in the same
step with different label numbers would not work.
Syntax Example:
COMMAND ===> relabel 5
In this example, RELABEL would find each "LABEL=(" and find the first one where
the label is 5 (or 05 or 005, etc.). It would change the 5 to a 1 and label 6
to a 2 and label 7 to a 3 and so on.
So if you had a job that looked like the following:
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(1,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(1,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//STEP02 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(2,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(2,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//STEP03 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(3,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(3,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//STEP04 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(4,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(4,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//STEP05 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(5,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(5,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//STEP06 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(6,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(6,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//STEP07 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(7,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(7,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//STEP08 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(8,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(8,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//STEP09 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(9,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(9,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//STEP10 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(10,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(10,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
1
After a "relabel 5" it would look like:
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(1,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(1,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//STEP02 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(2,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(2,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//STEP03 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(3,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(3,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//STEP04 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(4,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(4,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//STEP05 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(1,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(1,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//STEP06 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(2,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(2,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//STEP07 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(3,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(3,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//STEP08 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(4,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(4,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//STEP09 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(5,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(5,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//STEP10 EXEC PGM=XXX
//DD1 DD LABEL=(6,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
//DD2 DD LABEL=(6,SL,RETPD=30),etc.......
