Executing in Batch

Once you select a query or dialog for execution, you can issue the SUBMIT query-name command or press the SUBMIT PF key to indicate that you want to execute your selection in batch from online CA Dataquery.

Another method, called Batch SIGNON, uses JCL that can be accessed through CA Roscoe IE or another editor and submitted to sign on to CA Dataquery and process a query. End users do not commonly use Batch SIGNON.

If you are authorized for batch execution of queries, you can accomplish a number of objectives with batch execution. Unlike online execution, you can defer execution, suppress the output or export the output sent when you complete the BATCH EXECUTION panel.

The following lists unique objectives that are available when processing in batch.

Defer execution time.
Use a specific JCL member to change processing specifications.
Suppress the report (usually to export data).
Export the print data to make it available to other products or programs. You must be authorized to perform this task.
