Generate JCL for a Batch Job

When you select J in the Generate Business System panel, CA Gen generates the JCL to execute a batch job. The member name for the batch job is the job name that is listed on the Generate Business System panel. CA Gen uses the JCL library that you specified when you set up your internal libraries.

After generating the JCL, CA Gen displays it in an ISPF Edit session. You can modify the JCL before saving it. You can submit the modified JCL to run as a batch job.

Follow these steps:

1. On the Application System Construction menu, type 1 for the Generate business system option and press Enter.

   CA Gen displays the Generate Business System panel listing the online load modules, server load modules, and batch jobs in the business system.

2. Type a J next to the job name and press Enter.

   The system generates the JCL and places you in an ISPF Edit session. CA Gen assigns the job name as the generated member. The library is the one you specified when you set up your internal libraries.

3. Modify the JCL and submit the job or leave the panel.
   • Complete the changes and type SUBMIT on the COMMAND line and press Enter to submit the job.
   • Press End to leave ISPF edit and return to the Generate Business System panel without submitting the job.
