Submit Batch Job

Once you create a script and your batch JCL, you can execute the batch job. Certain sites have restrictions about job submission (for example, your TSO logon ID must be authorized to submit jobs, and you need read or allocate access to certain data sets), so you need to follow local procedures. Also, the CA Auditor DBASE1 data set might not be available to you online while functions such as freezing files are accessing this data set from a batch mode.

As an experienced user, you can submit batch JCL while you are in ISPF/PDF Edit on the batch JCL data set using the SUBMIT subcommand. Or, you can use the TSO SUBMIT command to execute your job without being in ISPF/PDF Edit.

To submit the batch job

1. Select option 0 from the Primary menu.

   The Change User Profile Information menu is displayed.

2. Select option 4.

   The Batch Facility menu is displayed.

3. Select option 3.

   The Submit Batch Job screen is displayed.

4. Enter a script name to run instead of the one specified as the EXAMSCRP ddname. This field does not change your existing batch JCL, but it modifies the EXAMSCRP DD statement in the submitted JCL.
5. Specify a file that contains the batch JCL and also specify an optional script data set.
