Syntax Rules

CONVERT JOBSTREAM

The CONVERT JOBSTREAM command is used to identify which CA Endevor/DB user to assign dictionary updates. When the converted JCL is executed, the CA Endevor/DB user name and password are passed to CA Endevor/DB's Security System/Change Monitor prior to invoking the utility that performs dictionary updates. The dictname specifies the dbname of the dictionary to which the updates are to be performed.

NDVRRJCL can convert any type of JCL. For example, you can run NDVRRJCL in CMS and convert a z/OS or OS/390 jobstream. NDVRRJCL automatically recognizes the job language.

The user, password, and dbname(dictname) clauses are used to build the SIGNON command so that NDVRBOOK can perform the CA Endevor/DB signon (when the converted JCL is executed). Depending on your CA Endevor/DB signon requirements, all or none of these clauses may be required. In addition, if the USER clause is not specified, the PASSWORD clause is not used to build the subsequent CA Endevor/DB SIGNON command.

SEARCH FOR REPLACE WITH

The SEARCH FOR command is used to search for blocks of JCL statements within the input JCL and to replace those blocks with the "REPLACE WITH" JCL statements in the output JCL. The command must be written as follows:

• The SEARCH FOR clauses must begin in card column 1 and be exact, up to and including card column 72.
• The REPLACE WITH clauses must begin in card column 1 and include up to and including card column 72.
• The "REPLACE WITH" and "SEARCH END" clauses must begin in card column 1 and cannot be abbreviated.
• This command must be entered exactly in the sequence as indicated in the diagram above.
• Replacement of partial statements is not supported.

SEARCH END

The SEARCH END clause terminates the SEARCH FOR/REPLACE WITH blocks.
