Setup and Processing Parameters › Define Processing Defaults and Job Statements

Define Processing Defaults and Job Statements

You can customize CA File Master Plus to define several control parameters and job statements that are used when submitting batch jobs. The initial defaults are defined by your system administrator by updating the values in CAWAOPTS during installation.

Note: CA Technologies recommends setting the processing default parameters and specifying the job statement before performing other CA File Master Plus functions.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Setup and Processing Parameters screen.
2. Select DEFAULT from the menu, Option 0.1 from the main menu.

   The Processing Defaults and Jobcard screen opens.

3. Complete the following fields:

   Confirm data set deletes?

   Set this value to N to process data set deletes without confirmation.

   Values: Y, N

   Confirm member deletes?

   Set this value to N to process member deletes without confirmation.

   Values: Y, N

   Use '=' to jump within CA product?

   Set this value to Y to use = to navigate within CA File Master Plus. Set this value to N to use = to navigate to ISPF functions.

   Values: Y, N

   Example: When this value is Y and the command =3.1 is typed, the application jumps to the Library Utility. When this value is N, the same command jumps to ISPF's Option 3.1.

   Userid prefix for backup PDS?

   Set this value to Y to specify that DSNs generated for backup or recovery contain the user's User ID as the first node.

   Values: Y, N

   Note: For more information about the backup and recovery files that are affected by this parameter, see the chapter "PDS Utilities Submenu."

   Confirm print class & destination?

   Set this value to Y to display a confirmation screen when requesting an online print and before submitting a batch job that requests a print. The confirmation screen shows the Sysout class and the destination parameters that have been defined using the Print Output Control Parms screen.

   Values: Y, N

   Example: With a value of Y, each time a print is requested, the confirmation screen opens allowing you to override the Sysout class and destination for the current output. With a value of N, all print output is routed to the Sysout class and destination that is defined in the Print Output Control Parms screen.

   DASD Unit Name

   Specifies the initial value for the generic unit name when allocating new workspace data sets. These data sets are allocated on volumes associated with the specified unit.

   Default: SYSDA

   Note: To control the volumes on which work space data sets are allocated, the DASD unit name or the SMS storage class must be specified (but not both).

   SMS Storage Class

   Specifies the initial value for the SMS storage class used for the allocation of new SMS-managed data sets.

   Note: To control the volumes on which work space data sets are allocated, the DASD unit name or the SMS storage class must be specified (but not both).

   Size in cylinder

   Specifies the number of cylinders for the maximum size of workspace data sets allocated by the application.

   Enter a value of zero to specify an unlimited maximum size.

   Job information

   Specifies one to four lines of JCL control statements that is added to the beginning of any online-generated batch jobs. Blank lines for lines 2, 3 and 4 of the job statement specification are ignored when generating JCL.
