Understanding the System

End users can share JCL if:

• A DQ PROC (a special DQ JCL member) is set up with a variable for the user's ID, or
• The DQ JCL member contains the #DQOPERATORNAME variable so that the user's ID will replace the variable when the JCL is used. For more information on PROCs, see PROC Example, or for more information on the #DQOPERATORNAME variable, see the next section.

CA Dataquery searches the JCL library in the following order for:

• JCL member whose name matches the user ID
• JCL member whose name matches the user's Group Level 3 ID
• JCL member whose name matches the user's Group Level 2 ID
• JCL member whose name matches the user's Group Level 1 ID
• Default JCL member named $$DQJCL

When CA Dataquery finds a JCL member name that matches one of the above criteria, CA Dataquery supplies that value on the Batch Execution panel. When the Batch Execution panel (DQEN0) is used, the name of a JCL member appears on the panel. The name is selected according to the above criteria. The user may change the name to any valid JCL member or PROC name.
