Dynamic Allocation of CA 1 TMC and Audit Data Sets

The TMC and Audit data sets are dynamically allocated for every batch program that requires the same TMC or Audit that is being used by realtime processing. A check is included to ensure that the TMC or Audit data sets have not been moved or recataloged since CA 1 became active. For these programs, a DD statement of TMC or AUDIT is not allowed.

For those programs that do not require an active TMC, it is dynamically allocated if a TMC DD statement is not part of the JCL. However, if a TMC DD statement is present in the JCL, that statement is used. For a few programs (TMSFORMT, for example) a TMC DD statement is still required.
