Issue/Introduction

The JCLCheck REXX interface helps to enforce site standards by issuing messages when the standard are not met. 

JCLCheck messages severity level may also be modified using the REXX interface.

This Knowledge Document describes how to activate the REXX interface for JCLCheck.

 

Environment

Release: 12.0
Component: JCLCheck Workload Automation

Resolution

JCLCheck in batch mode: 

1. Allocate the library containing the REXX Exec to the SYSEXEC DD statement.
2. Add runtime option STDREXX(rexxpgm). 

        Ex: // EXEC PGM=JCLCHECK,PARM='STDREXX(rexxpgm)' 

 

 JCLCheck in ISPF using EDCHEK: 

1.  Allocate the REXX Exec library to the SYSEXEC DD statement. The SYSEXEC DD is generally defined in your TSO logon proc or logon CLIST. 
2. Add runtime option STDREXX(rexxpgm) to your EDCHKDD DD dataset member.
3. If command %EJCK is used,  execute "%EJCK Panel", and add the REXX Exec name to the STDREXX option.  The REXX library DD name and DSN may be set or overridden here. 

 

JCLCheck ISPF panels interface:

1. Allocate the REXX Exec library to the SYSEXEC DD statement. The SYSEXEC DD is generally defined in your TSO logon proc or logon CLIST. 
2. Modify the JCL skeleton member JCKSKEL from the CAZ2SKL0 data set in the ISPSLIB DD.  Remove the comment from the SYSEXEC DD statement and change the dataset name to the REXX Exec library. 
3. Add runtime option STDREXX:  from the JCLCheck ISPF primary menu, select 0 - Option Specifications, then 1- Process Control Options. Go to ADDITIONAL PROCESSING OPTIONS PANEL and enter Y. On the next panel, add the REXX Exec name to the STDREXX option.   The REXX library DD name and DSN may be set or overridden here.
