asked on Please read carefully: How can we pass parameters in SQL query while executing IKJEFT01? See example of problem statement.
Problem Statement:
//UNLOAD EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD * DSN SYSTEM(DB2X) RETRY(3)
RUN PROGRAM(DSNTIAUL)
PLAN(DSNTIAUL) -
PARM('SQL')
END
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=D
//SYSREC00 DD DSN=OUTPUT.FILE.NAME,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//SYSPUNCH DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SELECT * FROM SYSIBM.SYSTABLESPACE WHERE NAME LIKE 'ABCD%'
/*
End Problem Statement.
The answer that closely solves the problem that I have will look like this:
Potential Answer:
I saw this in a post from someone with a similar problem...I need a separate step, prior to my catalg SELECT step, that writes the variable line(s) of SQL to a temporary file. Then concatenate that temporary file with the unchanging lines of SQL like shown below. I don't want to write any program for this. I want to know if there is any IBM utility that can serve the same purpose...take whatever is in the parm field and write it to the OUTPUT01 DD.
Does anyone know of s specific utility that I can use to achieve this objective? And if so, the person please provide an example(s)? I have been thinking about IBM's ICETOOL or the SORT tool, but I do not know how to use the ICETOOL to accomplish this especially how to write the PARM variable to a file.
Any help will be much appreciated.

giltjr, momi_sabag,
Thank you both for your suggestions. First let me say it is looking more and more that I may just have to write a cobol program to do what I need done. Unfortunately, we don't have any REXX expertise in house and I was only hoping to discover any of the IBM common utilities on the mainframe that can do what I need done withouy having to write a program for this purpose.
Doeas anyone have ICETOOL (alias for SORT)? In the past few days I have read documentation about ICETOOL that shows it can use "JCL SET name=some_data" and the "JPn" function to assign PARM= with the ICETOOL program is invoked directly. What I have not been able to find is any example of how to code for it.
The example found shows only how to use the "JPn" function to "OMIT COND= something " during a ICETOOL COPY routine.
If it is possible to use ICETOOL to write PARM= data to a file, can anyone show how this can be done?
Take a look at the ICETOOL JCL that I have tried to use. It appears to run successfully but did not write anything to the OUTDD file.
I understand why ICETOOL did not write anything out...INDD is empty, so nothing to copy.
Is there anyway what I have can work? If so, what am I doing wrong?

Oh, REXX is not all that difficult to learn and use.

Thanks giltjr for the latest suggestions to try using ICETOOL. I am going to try it and report back if it worked or not. I checked out the link you provided and it looks promising.
Again thanks

Thanks again!
Now you could create a REXX that called DB2 you could pass parameters directly to them from the PARM statement using IKJEFT01. The limitation is the "PARM" statement is limited to a total of 101 characters IIRC.
Something like:
//CTMSEND EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,
// PARM='DB2REXX ABCD"
Where DB2REXX is a REXX EXEC that calls DB2 and is the name of a REXX EXEC or TSO CLIST that you want IKJEFT01 to execute when is starts and &SQL is a SQL statement. Then if using REXX you would have something like:
/* DB2REXX: REXX exec to call db2 *?
arg wclause /* Get Where clause */
Then you would have the rest of the EXEC. You can search google for examples of how to call DB2 from REXX. Depending on how complex your where clause is you may have to play around with embedding it in quotes.
