Issue/Introduction

There may be occasions when the Support or Sustaining Engineering staff requests that a customer execute the DDEXLIST utility in order to obtain additional diagnostics for problem debugging. The following notes could be useful for any customer who may need to execute the utility.

Resolution

For customers running release 11.6 of Dispatch, the DDEXLIST job's JCL is located in the Dispatch installed CAIOPTN library. For our release 11.7 Dispatch customers, the JCL is located in the CADSJCL library. 

Notes on execution:

1. Running with the CADZSPLx task DOWN:
   
   Set the //LDSROOT statement in the jobs JCL to point to your ROOT LDS name 'IF' you are running with the CADZSPLx task down. Make sure the INTERFACE statement in the control member shown below is COMMENTED OUT.
   
   
2. Running with the CADZSPLx task ACTIVE:
   
   Comment out the //LDSROOT statement in the job's JCL 'IF' you are running with the CADZSPLx task ACTIVE. And make sure you have the INTERFACE statement shown below UNCOMMENTED.
   
   
3. The job pulls in a control member called DDLIST00 out of the CAIOPTN (if r11.6) or CADSOPTN (if 11.7) library.
   
   Sample of DDLIST00 is as follows:

   ********************************* Top of Data **************  *  * This is a sample of CADDLIST sysin  *  * Sort criteria  *  SORT REPORT,JOBNAME,TOKEN  *  * WE SELECT ALL JOBS STARTING PRDJOB1, TESTJB1 & JOBB  *  SELECT JOBNAME(PRDJOB1,TESTJB1,JOBB)  *  * We will select only MSGCLASS  *  SELECT REPORT(MSGCLASS)  *  * Interface card is used only for online connection  *  * INTERFACE x (replace x with your unique CADZSPLx suffix)  *  ******************************** Bottom of Data ************

4. The utility is documented in Chapter 13 of the Dispatch System Programmers Guide in the section entitled "CADDLIST (LDS Display Utility)".
   
   
   
5. If a client is instructed to execute this utility, the requester will provide specific details on which control statements should be coded in the DDLIST00 member prior to execution.
   
   
6. Typically, Support will ask that you send us the complete output from the above utility.
