Issue/Introduction

This Knowledge Document provides instructions on how to obtain documentation to assist Broadcom Support with problems relating to the JCLCheck's Control-M External Variables Resolution feature.

Environment

Release: 12.0
Component: JCLCheck Workload Automation

Resolution

Exchanges between the JCLCheck and BMC's Control-M interface modules are logged in a RECORD file.

The RECORD file contains information such as the RESOLVE parameters, the input pre-resolved JCL, error messages, etc.   Broadcom Support will use this RECORD file to replicate your RESOLVE External Variables issue.

To capture the record file, the following needs to be done:

 - From EDCHEK : The record file can be a PDS or a sequential file.

To use a record PDS file:

• Add keyword "RECORD" to the Control-M RESOLVE parameters file.
• Create a record PDS file with DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=500,DSORG=PO)
• Specify the data set name in the JCKUSRCM clist (SET &RESRECD = &STR(hlq.resolve.record))

To use a record sequential file:

• Add keyword "RECORDSEQ" to the Control-M RESOLVE parameters file.
• Create a record sequential file with DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=500,DSORG=PS)
• Allocate the record sequential file to DD name RECORDSQ prior to calling EDCHEK.

 

- From JCLCheck ISPF panel Option 7 - RESOLVE - External Variable Resolution:

• Add keyword "RECORD" to the Control-M RESOLVE parameters file.
• Create a record PDS file with DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=500,DSORG=PO)
• Specify the data set name in the JCKUSRCM clist (SET &RESRECD = &STR(hlq.resolve.record))

 

- From batch mode (EXEC PGM=CAZ1PRES) :

(Note: The record file can be a PDS or a sequential file)

To use a record PDS file:

• Add keyword "RECORD" to the Control-M RESOLVE parameters file.
• Add a RECORD DD statement pointing to the record pds file as follows:

//RECORD DD DCB=RECFM=FB,LRECL=500,DSORG=PO,
//   UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(x,y,z)),
//   DISP=(NEW,CATL,DELETE),
//   DSN=hlq.RESOLVE.RECORD

To use a record sequential file:

• Add keyword "RECORDSEQ" to the Control-M RESOLVE parameters file.
• Add a RECORDSQ DD statement pointing to the record sequential file as follows:
  

  //RECORDSQ DD DCB=RECFM=FB,LRECL=500,DSORG=PS,
  //   UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(x,y)),
  //   DISP=(NEW,CATL,DELETE),
  //   DSN=hlq.RESOLVE.RECORD

Additional Information

Terse the Record file, and send the tersed file to Broadcom Support
