How to confirm if Datacom Option is being used for the Easytrieve product

Products

• Easytrieve Report Generator

Issue/Introduction

For Easytrieve Datacom jobs, the following datasets are needed in the JCL:

CAAXLOAD and CUSLIB libraries are for Datacom/AD. CABDLOAD and CUSLIB are for Datacom/DB.

Is there another way to confirm that the Datacom is actually being used?

Also, is there a report or utility which can be run against the Datacom option to get the name of the Datacom table to then specify that table in the JOB09URT job?

 

Environment

Easytrieve Report Generator, release 11.6

Resolution

Easytrieve Report Generator can use Datacom without going through any special setup, by only including two load DATACOM  libraries and one PanSQL load library in the STEPLIB.

Everything else can be left "unconfigured" and Easytrieve programs can still access Datacom just by specifying necessary parameters (PREPNAME and table) directly inside of the CA Easytrieve script.

As a result, there are no special options maintained by Easytrieve that can be analyzed to determine whether the Datacom option is being used.
