Why message U11-656 may have blank values for STPROC and STSTEP?

Products

• CA-11

Issue/Introduction

If a job abends and the U11-656 information for STPROC and STSTEP are blank, what does this mean?

Environment

Release : 11.0

Component : CA Easytrieve Online Runtime Report Generator

Resolution

If CA 11 sees that the job should restart from the very first step of the job the U11-656 message will be blank for the STPROC and STSTEP.  This occurs if the job abends in the very first step or in a step that is not restartable and CA 11 has determined that the next most restartable step is the first step of the job .   If RSNUM is set to YES in the config file to indicated that the relative step number should be used instead of the step name then the U11-656 message will show  as follows:

U11-656 JOBNAME=WHIANOEX,STPROC=        ,STSTEP=001     ,AUTO SETUP PARMS
