&SYSJOB System Variable Symbol
&SYSJOB System Variable Symbol
Use &SYSJOB to obtain the jobname of the assembly job used to assemble your
source module. &SYSJOB has a global scope.
When the assembler runs on the CMS component of the VM operating systems,
&SYSJOB is assigned a value of (NOJOB).
Notes:
1. The value of the type attribute of &SYSJOB (T'&SYSJOB) is always U.
2. The value of the count attribute (K'&SYSJOB) is the number of characters
assigned.
&SYSLIB_DSN System Variable Symbol
Use &SYSLIB_DSN in a macro definition to obtain name of the data set from which
the assembler read the macro definition statements. If the macro definition is a
source macro definition, &SYSLIB_DSN is assigned the same value as
&SYSIN_DSN.
The local-scope system variable symbol &SYSLIB_DSN is assigned a read-only
value each time a macro definition is called.
When the assembler runs on the MVS operating systems, the value of the
character string assigned to &SYSLIB_DSN is always the value stored in the JFCB
for SYSLIB.
When the assembler runs on the CMS component of the VM operating systems,
and the macro definition is a library macro definition, &SYSLIB_DSN is assigned
the file name, file type, and file mode of the data set.
When the macro definition is a library macro definition, &SYSLIB_DSN is
assigned the library name and sublibrary name of the VSE Librarian file.
Examples
Under MVS, &SYSLIB_DSN might be assigned a value such as:
SYS1.MACLIB
Under CMS, &SYSLIB_DSN might be assigned a value such as:
DMSGPI MACLIB S2
Under VSE, &SYSLIB_DSN might be assigned a value such as:
IJSYSRS.SYSLIB
Notes:
1. If the LIBRARY user exit provides the data set information then the value in
&SYSLIB_DSN is the value extracted from the Exit-Specific Information block
described in the HLASM Programmer's Guide.
2. The value of the type attribute of &SYSLIB_DSN (T'&SYSLIB_DSN) is always
U.
