JCL Considerations

The JCL to execute the IDMSDBAN utility program must include statements to define:

• For IDMSDBN1:
  • For SQL databases, you must specify the name of the catalog to be processed on the SYSIDMS DBNAME parameter and not the DICTNAME parameter.
  • The files that map to the areas to be processed.
  • The SYSIPT file containing input parameters.
  • SYS002 contains output for use by IDMSDBN2 (this file is known to IDMSDBN2 as SYS001).
• For IDMSDBN2:
  • SYS001 containing the output from IDMSDBN1 (this file was known to IDMSDBN1 as SYS002).
  • SYS002 is a temporary storage file.
  • SORTWKnn are sort work files. The number and size depends on the sort package you use.
  • SORTMSG containing sort output messages.
  • SYSLST is the destination for the reports the utility creates. If this DD points to a sequential file, pre-allocate the file before the IDMSDBN2 step and ensure the file has a disposition within the step of DISP=MOD. If you fail to do so, Report 1A will not be present on the file at step completion.

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.
