Issue/Introduction

We need to setup a resource dependency for jobs and schedules.  How do you define the resource and how do you set up the SCL definition for the job?

Resolution

Use the steps below to define the dependencies for resource conditions:  
 
1   Display the RESOURCE member of your PPOPTION library using the PARMS command in Jobtrac TSO ISPF EDIT.
2.  Use regular TSO ISPF edit commands to add, delete, or modify RESOURCE statements 
     (see the RESOURCE statement syntax information here in section entitled Define Resource Conditions).
3.  Save the edited RESOURCE member.
4.  Issue F taskname,OPTS to refresh the RESOURCE member.

To define the resource, use RS=xx within the SCL in column 25.  The xx value specifies any characters defined in the RESOURCE member of the PPOPTION library.  See the SCL example below:

*EVENTNM TIME DATE DEPS  RELEASE1RELEASE2RELEASE3RELEASE4 PROCESSP  OPDC
*        *    *    *     *       *       *       *        *         ****
