Using the ISPF Panel Interface

The CA JCLCheck ISPF panels interface lets you perform many functions ranging from a single JCL check to an entire PDS, or batch mode processing. The panels also include a JCLNeat option to reformat your JCL to your shop standards.

To use the ISPF panels interface:

1. Place the CA JCLCheck CAZ2LOAD in the LINKLIST, as best practice. The CA JCLCheck CD51LOAD must also be in the LINKLIST when ChekPlex is used. If these libraries cannot go in the LINKLIST, then they must be in the STEPLIB allocation in the TSO logon procedure.

   Note: All the STEPLIB concatenated libraries must be APF-authorized.

2. Allocate the following libraries to your logon procedure:
   • CAZ2CLS0 library to SYSPROC concatenation
   • CAZ2PNL0 library to ISPPLIB concatenation
   • CAZ2SKLO library to ISPSLIB concatenation
   • CAZ2MSG0 library to ISPMLIB concatenation

   Alternately, you can use the LIBDEF method of allocating your system libraries as follows:

   • ISPEXEC LIBDEF ISPMLIB DATASET ID('CAI.CAZ2MSG0')
   • ISPEXEC LIBDEF ISPPLIB DATASET ID('CAI.CAZ2PNL0')
   • ISPEXEC LIBDEF ISPSLIB DATASET ID('CAI.CAZ2SKL0')
   • ISPEXEC LIBDEF ISPTLIB DATASET ID('CAI.CAZ2TBL0')

     Important: Do not use LIBDEF ISPLLIB to allocate the CA JCLCheck load libraries (CAZ2LOAD and CD51LOAD). ISPLLIB programs cannot run authorized.

3. Add the following entries to SYS1.PARMLIB(IKJTSOnn), as APF-authorization for CA JCLCheck in TSO/ISPF mode is required:
   • CAZ2CTSO in the AUTHTSF table
   • JCLCHECK in the AUTHCMD table
   • JCLCHECK in the AUTHPGM table
