Can I run the same Job definition at the beginning and end of the jcl WITH A DIFFERENT FILE DEFINITION then retrieve stored count from the first JOB definition?
First Run Job Def Name: TES001DPUARTOTAL
File definition: Tally all records in File
Internal Item: (I-001) Tally count
History Item: (E-001) Retrieve external job results
Rule: (R-001) [ I-001 EQ E-001]
PROC PGM=TEST
Second run job Def Name: TES001DPUARTOTAL
File Definition: Embedded Key: Messages Written
Internal Item: (I-???) Messages Written
History Item: (E-???) Retrieve First Job (I-001) results stored in DB
Rule: (R-???) - [ I-??? EQ E-001 ]
