Issue/Introduction

How to expand PROC and INCLUDE statements while validating a JCL member using the EDCHEK commands !JCK or %EJCK in ISPF?

 

 

Environment

Release: 12.0
Component: JCLCheck Workload Automation

Resolution

Use JCLCheck runtime option EDCHEL.  Here's how:

- Add the "EDCHEL" option to the EDCHKDD  dataset that is allocated to your TSO/ISPF session.  The expanded PROC and INCLUDE statements will be inserted as ISPF NOTE lines instead of ISPF MSG lines to distinguish them from error messages. They can be removed by using the ISPF "RESET" command.  

or 

- Execute command %EJCK EDCHEL  

Here is a sample display when "%EJCK EDCHEL" is issued.

This message is produced when both runtime option EDCHEL and PROCXREF are specified.
