TICJCLX, TICGENB2, TICGENB4 , and TIRGENB2

The CLIST TICJCLX creates default JCL for the batch Host Encyclopedia functions. This CLIST runs in the foreground and you modify it to intercept the JCL it creates and display or modify the JCL. The interception is useful to:

• Use custom panels to add variables to the batch job. If the job is code generation, you must also add the new variables to the skeleton entries in members TICGENB2, TICGENB4, and TIRGENB2.
• Submit the job directly from TICJCLX, for security reasons.

  The CLIST that calls TICJCLX passes two variables, JCLTYPE and JOBSUB.

• JCLTYPE identifies the batch procedure to submit, C for code generation or e for encyclopedia functions.
• JOBSUB is the name of the JCL skeleton used for JCL creation. The JCL skeleton is available to this CLIST to allow you to submit your own job.

TICJCLX allows display or input of additional variables for a customized background task when using custom variables. Remember to modify SLIB members TICGENB2, TICGENB4, and TIRGENB2 to recognize the new variables.

A return code from TICJCLX is tested to determine subsequent processing. The effect of each return code is:
