JCL Considerations

When you submit an UPDATE STATISTICS statement to CA IDMS/DB through the batch command facility, the JCL to execute the facility must include either:

• A SYSCTL file to direct execution to the central version

  or

• Statements to define:
  • The areas containing the table(s) being examined
  • The dictionary containing the table definitions
  • The journal files of the DMCL you are using

Note: For more information about the generic JCL used to execute the batch command facility, see the chapter for your operating system in this guide.
