Issue/Introduction

The IDMS install delivers a UCF Batch front-end module called RHDCUCFB. Some sites have always created a UCF Batch front-end module called UCFBTCH and have much JCL that specifies that program name. Rather than assembling and linking a new one at every upgrade, can an ALIAS be added to RHDCUCFB?

Environment

Release: All supported releases.

Resolution

Use this sample JCL:

//LKED     EXEC PGM=IEWL,                                 
//            PARM=(XREF,LET,LIST,NCAL)                   
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                    
//SYSUT1   DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(1700,(500,100))           
//LOADLIB DD DSN=yourHLQ.R190.CAGJLOAD,DISP=SHR      
//SYSLMOD DD DSN=yourHLQ.CUSTOM.LOADLIB,DISP=SHR   
//SYSLIN   DD *                                           
  INCLUDE LOADLIB(RHDCUCFB)                               
  ALIAS UCFBTCH                                           
  ENTRY UCFBTCHX
