How do we know if a job is using the APCDDS interface?

Products

• APCDDS Automated Report Balancing

Issue/Introduction

Would like to be able to determine which jobs are using APCDDS in our environment. Is there a procedure available?

Environment

APCDDS any level

Resolution

You can scan all the production JCL for the following DD statement:

//PRTSTEP  EXEC  PGM=CATKJCL,PARM=

If you remove the statement then you will not call APCDDS when the job is executed. This will not affect any other tasks or functions.
