Issue/Introduction

How to direct the output from the execution of an RC/Migrator for DB2 for z/OS (RCM) / RC/Compare for Db2 for z/OS (RCC) analysis submitted through
the batch processor to a dataset.

Resolution

The Batch Processor .LIST command will route the output to a dataset as follows:

1. Add the 'DDNAME' keyword to the .LIST - .LIST DDNAME(the ddname)
   
   
2. Preallocate a file that the DD name above will point to as FB LRECL 80.
   
   
   1. DD in the JCL: //OUTPTDD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=hlq.OUTFILE
      (Can be placed after PTIXMSG)
      
      

   2.   The .LIST command is included in the Batch Processor control cards:
        .CONTROL BPID(USERID.DB2.CNTL-xxxx) +
         LOGID(ssid) UNIT(SYSDA)
        .LIST DDNAME(OUTPTDD)
        .RESTART OVERRIDE
        .OPTION ERRORS RETRY(03) BINDERRORS
        .CONNECT ssid

3. Where can the .LIST command be modified:
   
   
   1. In the existing Batch Processor JCL.
      
      
   2. If new, within BP, PREVIEW the JCL that will be executed and add/modify the existing statements.
      
      

The dataset will contain the Batch Processor control statements / DDL that have executed and their return codes.
