Issue/Introduction

Why do I receive BATCH SUBMIT FTINCL JCKSKEL FAILED RC=8 with JCLCheck ISPF batch submit?

 

 

Environment

Release: 12.0
Component: JCLCheck Workload Automation

Cause

• JCLCheck skeleton member JCKSKEL cannot be located,  is modified incorrectly, or is not at the same maintenance level as the JCLCheck executable modules.
• Clist member JCKUSR is modified incorrectly, or is not at the same maintenance level as the JCLCheck executable modules. 

Resolution

- JCKSKEL is in the JCLCheck Skeleton library CAZ2SKL0.  This library must be allocated to the TSO/ISPF session using DDname ISPSLIB.  

- Modify JCKSKEL to match your installation requirements:

.   If you are using AUTOPROC, comment out the JCHKPLIB DD statement.

.   If CA TLMS option is used, remove the comment from the CAIVMFI DD statement and change the DSN value.   

.   If the REXX interface is used, remove the comment from the SYSEXEC DD and change the DSN value to the REXX exec library.

- Ensure that the latest version of CLIST JCKUSR is used. (The SMP TARGET CAZ2CLS0 library contains the latest version of JCKUSR.)   

- Ensure that variable GTLOAD is not removed from CLIST JCKUSR even if GTS (Generalized Transaction Server for the Chekplex feature) is not used.  If GTS is not installed, &GTLOAD should be set as follows:

 SET &GTLOAD = &STR()                                /*GTSGS5*/  

 ISPEXEC VPUT (JCLOAD JCLOAD1 GTLOAD)                /*GACAN5*/  

Additional Information

JCLCheck PTF SO04211 updates CLIST members, panels,  skeleton members, and load modules. 

Therefore all components must be at the same maintenance level otherwise error such as  BATCH SUBMIT FTINCL JCKSKEL FAILED RC=8  will occur.
