Is there a separate HOLDDATA file when running the RECEIVE job EZT6RECP for release 11.6?

Issue/Introduction

JCL as delivered, after EZTSEDIT is run, and contains a //SMPHOLD DD statement but where is this //SMPHOLD DD file to be found?

//RECEIVE  EXEC PGM=GIMSMP,PARM='DATE=U',REGION=0M
//SMPCSI    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=your.easytrieve.CSI
//SMPPTFIN  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SMPPTFIN
//SMPHOLD   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=HOLDDATA
//SMPCNTL   DD   *
SET BOUNDARY(GLOBAL).
RECEIVE SYSMODS HOLDDATA.

Environment

Easytrieve Report Generator, release 11.6

Resolution

Please note:

Other CA products do use the //SMPHOLD dataset, but CA Easytrieve incorporates any ++HOLD information into the one file.

These are the changes which need to be made to the above JCL:

1. Feed the PTFs input files into the //SMPPTFIN DD statement.
2. Remove the //SMPHOLD DD statement since there is not separate HOLDDATA file.
3. Change the RECEIVE statement to remove "HOLDDATA" parm.

The revised JCL will then be as follows:

//RECEIVE EXEC PGM=GIMSMP,PARM='DATE=U',REGION=0M
//SMPCSI DD DISP=SHR,DSN=highlevelqualifer.CSI
//SMPPTFIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=xxxxxx(ROxxxxxx)
//                    DD DISP=SHR,DSN=xxxxxx(ROxxxx02)
//SMPCNTL DD *
SET BOUNDARY(GLOBAL).
RECEIVE SYSMODS.
