Issue/Introduction

When creating an SAP job with Step parameters in WCC QuickEdit, an error occurs when attempting to commit the new job definition...

CAUAJM_E_18914 Invalid syntax "footer=N,release=N,banner_page=N,variant="VARIANT_NAME",new_spool=Y,print_imm=N,abap_name="ABAP_NAME"" for subtype keyword "sap_step_parms". Syntax of subtype: subtype_keyword=value, subtype_keyword=value
CAUAJM_E_18936 Required JIL keyword "sap_step_parms" is missing.

Environment

Release : 11.3.6/12.0

Component : CA Workload Automation AE (AutoSys)

Cause

When adding Step parameters to an SAP job in WCC Quick Edit, the abap_name parameter must be the first parameter specified in the string. Otherwise, the error above will occur.

Resolution

If you are manually typing in the Step parameters string, make sure the abap_name parameter is first in the list. For example...

abap_name="ABAP_NAME",footer=N,release=N,banner_page=N,variant="VARIANT_NAME",new_spool=Y,print_imm=N

Additional Information

It is recommended to use this tool to build the Step parameters string to ensure proper formatting.
