Editing a Jobcard

To satisfy output requests with a destination of a system printer, the PSS print environment submits a batch job to the host operating system. The PSS print environment provides resources to store a job card for each user ID and a MASTER job card. The MASTER job card is used when the current user has no job card. The MASTER job card is also used as the initial model for editing when a user first issues the EDIT JOBCARD command (to create a user job card).

The rest of the JCL to carry out the batch print request is identified on the SET OUTPUT SITE panel as Name of the batch JCL proc. If a PSS user submits a member without a job card, PSS uses this same user job card or MASTER job card.

The PRINT administrator can display or edit any user job card or the MASTER job card with the command:

DISPLAY or EDIT JOBCARD

►►─┬─ DISPLAY ─┬─ JOBCARD ─┬─ MASTER ─────────┬───────────────────────────────►◄
   └─ EDIT ────┘           └─ USER ─ user-id ─┘

A job card fill-in consists of five 80-column lines. You can enter any JCL statements that are valid as the first one to five statements in a batch job stream. For more information about the DISPLAY and EDIT JOBCARD commands, see the CA Ideal Command Reference Guide.
