Issue/Introduction

What runtime modules are needed to run batch application programs in Gen 8.6?

Environment

Release : 8.6

Component : Gen Host Encyclopedia Construction

Resolution

The Gen runtime modules required by Gen generated batch applications running under JES are the following:

TIRARUNT, TIRBRTRZ, TIRBRUNB, TIRBURTZ, TIRIOVFI, TIRITIAZ, TIRMTQBZ, TIRORUNT, TIRRETCZ, and TIRTERBZ.
If your batch application is IMS DLIBATCH or IMS BMP, the TIRARUNI, TIRBRUNI, and TIRORUNI DLLs are also needed.
Depending on what functions are used by the action blocks, TIRDATXZ and TIRUPPRZ may also be needed. These must be included in the STEPLIB DD.

Having the Gen runtime load library in STEPLIB will assure all modules are available when processing.

The above information can be found in the Host Encyclopedia Construction > Batch Testing section of the Gen 8.6 documentation.
