Issue/Introduction

Executing a load module under Easytrieve Report Generator release 11.6, does the //EZOPTBL DD statement which is added in the compile step also need to be added to the JCL in the step executing the load module?

 

Environment

Easytrieve Report Generator, release 11.6

 

Resolution

Yes, please include the same //EZOPTBL DD statement for the execution step.  Please see this example in the documentation:

Executing a link-edited program

//RUN EXEC PGM=HELLO 
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=your.ezt.loadlib
//                DD DISP=SHR,DSN=your.loadlib
//EZOPTBL DD DISP=SHR,DSN=your.options.table
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSSNAP DD SYSOUT=*
//PERSNL DD DISP=SHR,DSN=your.data.file
//

This is to ensure that you do pick up the correct option file parameters needed for Runtime/Execution of your program.
