Issue/Introduction

JCLCheck Common Component is a subset of the JCLCheck Workload Automation product. JCLCheck Common Component is shipped free of charge with several host products such as CA 7.

The JCLCheck Common Component is used to validate JCL statements for syntax errors for jobs submitted by CA 7.  

This Knowledge Document describes the set up requirements for using the JCLCheck Common Component with CA 7.

 

Environment

Release: All
Component: CA 7 and JCLCheck Common Component

 

Resolution

  •  Install the JCLCheck Common Component into its own SMP/E zone. This is a best practice. 
  •  Place the JCLCheck Common Component CAZ2LOAD library in the linklist, and above all other Broadcom products.  If the JCLCheck load library cannot be in the linklist, then it must be allocated to the STEPLIB DD in the CA 7 started task.  
  • Add a SYSPROC DD statement to the CA 7 started task.  This DD points to the procedure libraries that JCLCheck searches to resolve PROCedures.
  • If you do not wish to define the procedure libraries in the CA 7 started task job, and want JCLCheck to search the cataloged procedure libraries in the JES2 address space instead, then use the JCLCheck AUTOPROC option.  Here's how: 

         - Remove the SYSPROC DD statement.

         - Create a sequential data set or a PDS member with DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=80*nnn).  For this example, DSN=JCLCHK.OPTION.FILE is a sequential file and contains the following options:  AU

         - Add the statement "JCLCHECK,DDNAME= ddname" to the CA 7 INIT Deck. For example, JCLCHECK,DDNAME=JCLCHXX

         - In the CA 7 started task JCL, add the statement:

              //JCLCHXX DD DSN=JCLCHK.OPTION.FILE,DISP=SHR

  • Recycle CA 7 and the following messages show that the JCLCheck Common Component interface has been loaded and the JCLCheck function is now available for use in CA 7.
CA-7.IJCK - THE FOLLOWING JCLCHECK OPTIONS IN EFFECT:
CA-7.IJCK - O(JCLCHECK),AU,ER(I),F,LIS,SP(NOR),LIN(25),VSAM
CA-7.IJCK - CA-JCLCHECK COMMON LOADED.
CA-7.IJCK - JCLCHECK INTERFACE BUFFER SIZE IS 08000.
