Batch Job Step

Use the batch job step scoping object to perform load module packaging maintenance tasks with the Packaging Tool.

Scope a batch job step as part of unit testing, to use the Construction Tool to generate or regenerate a single load module for a batch job.

The expansion level and protection option of the scoped batch job step are applied to the procedure step corresponding to that batch job step. In fact, this is the only part of job step expansion that changes. All objects other than procedure step are brought in for all five levels.

Note: The five expansion options for batch job step apply only to the procedure steps within the procedure being implemented. All objects other than procedure steps are brought in for all five levels.
