Issue/Introduction
How to write the Output File Generated from a Batch Execution of a RC/Migrator for Db2 for z/OS (RCM) migration to a dataset to avoid
filling up the JES message spool.
Resolution
To use the .LIST command to write the output to a specific dataset, the following statements need to be added/changed in the JCL that is used:
Add a DDname statement for the output dataset, for example: DDNAME=OUTDD
//OUTDD DD DSN=hlq.OUTPUT.DATA,
// UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(1,5),RLSE),
// DCB=(LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=3200,RECFM=FB),
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE)
Change the .LIST SYSOUT(*), the default, (which routes the output to the terminal) to .LIST DDNAME(DDname) which references the
DDname specified in the dataset allocation step referenced above. Using the example above, the .LIST command would be: .LIST DDNAME(OUTDD).
A partial example of the JCL that shows the output dataset and the .LIST DDname:
//OUTDD DD DSN=hlq.OUTPUT.DATA,
// UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(1,5),RLSE),
// DCB=(LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=3200,RECFM=FB),
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE)
//SYSUT1 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(30,30))
//SYSREC DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(1,1))
//BPIIPT DD DISP=SHR,
// DSN=hlq.RCM.BPCODE(DDLIN)
//BPIOPT DD *
.CONTROL BPID(hlq.RCM.BPCODE-DDLIN) +
LOGID(ssid) UNIT(SYSDA)
.LIST DDNAME(OUTDD)
.OPTION ERRORS SQLERRORS RETRY(01) NOBINDERRORS +
WRAPLINE
.CONNECT ssid
Additional Information
Batch Processor has a .LIST command that specifies the destination of the audit trail. The batch processor .LIST command which is found in DD BPIIPT creates an audit trail that will consist of error messages, return codes and SQL statements. The output can be the execution of an analysis resulting from a Migration or Compare strategy. The .LIST command can be used to write to other output methods (like a printer or SYSOUT class) as identified in Article ID: 54467. The use of this command makes diagnosing a problem during batch execution easier as the messages and the output will be displayed in the file specified.
