Package Action Statements

Package action statements provide the ability to perform package processing in batch using SCL. Package action statements consist of the following:

APPROVE PACKAGE-Approves a package for execution.
ARCHIVE PACKAGE-Copies the package definitions to an external data set.
BACKIN PACKAGE-Backs a package in, reversing the BACKOUT PACKAGE action.
BACKOUT PACKAGE-Backs out the change package to restore the executable and output modules to the state they were in prior to execution.
CAST PACKAGE-Casts a package, which freezes the data and prevents further changes at that time.
COMMIT PACKAGE-Commits a package removing all backout/backin data.
DEFINE PACKAGE-Creates a new or updates an existing package.
DELETE PACKAGE-Deletes an entire package from CA Endevor SCM.
DENY PACKAGE-Denies execution of a package.
EXECUTE PACKAGE-Executes a package.
EXPORT PACKAGE-Writes the SCL associated with a package to an external data set.
INSPECT PACKAGE-Checks each element for security, signout, and synchronization conflicts and source changes and reports on the changes in element status that might effect the successful execution of the package.
RESET PACKAGE-Resets a package back to a status of In-edit.
SUBMIT PACKAGE-Submits a JCL job stream to execute one or more packages.

Note: For information about package processing, see the Packages Guide.
