Jobtrac ignores //*CA-11 INSERTRMS=NO override leading to U0064 abend

Issue/Introduction

A batch job fails with a U0064  abend during CA 11 RMS processing due to U11-060 LOCATE UNSUCESSFUL for a (+0) GDG dataset reference.  Attempts to bypass CA 11 by adding //*CA-11 INSERTRMS=NO or //*INSERTRMS=NO to the JCL are ignored by the Jobtrac . 

Environment

Jobtrac r11.0

CA 11 

 

Cause

The global Jobtrac parameter INSERTRMS=ALL is specified in the JOBTRA00 (or TRACPARM) options member. This setting instructs Jobtrac to automatically insert the CA 11 RMS step into all jobs, which prevents JCL-level comment overrides from taking effect.

Resolution

To address this, modify the Jobtrac global parameter to allow selective RMS insertion and JCL overrides:

1. Locate the INSERTRMS parameter in the JOBTRA00 (or TRACPARM) member.
2. Change the value from ALL to CLASSLIST.
3. Define the specific job classes that require automatic CA 11 RMS insertion in the CLASSLIST.
4. Run jobs that need to bypass CA 11 processing in a job class that is excluded from the CLASSLIST.
5. If CA 11 processing is intended, resolve the U0064 abend by ensuring the GDG base exists and at least one generation is cataloged for (+0) references.
