Report Options

When JCL is validated, 13 different types of reports can be produced and written to the SYSPRINT data set. The CA JCLCheck runtime options control the number and types of reports.

The following list contains the types of reports that are produced and the associated runtime options. As best practice, review the need for certain reports at your site to reduce overhead especially when the entire JCL library is checked.

Report 0 - LISTING OF OPTIONS

Use the LIST runtime option. This report displays the default runtime options, override options, and runtime OPTIONS in EFFECT.

Report 1 - LISTING OF JOBSTREAM JCL

Use the JOB runtime option. This report is a card image listing of the JCL submitted to CA JCLCheck for validation.

Report 2 - LISTING OF MERGED JCL

Use the FULLLIST runtime option. This report is the entire JCL including expanded procedure statements.

Report 3 - DATA SET CROSS REFERENCE

Use the XREF runtime option. This report lists all data sets and PDS members that the current job being validated is using.

Report 4 - PROGRAM CROSS REFERENCE

Use the PXREF runtime option. This report lists all the programs that the current job being validated is using and the libraries where the programs reside.

Report 5 - REPORT REPORT

Use the RPTRPT runtime option. This report lists any statement specifying the SYSOUT parameter.

Report 6 - ERROR MESSAGES

Use the ERROR runtime option. This report lists all CA JCLCheck error messages that are detected for the current job being validated.

Report 7 - SUMMARY DATA SET CROSS REFERENCE

Use only the XREF and SXREF runtime options. To produce Report 3, Report 4, Report 8, and Report 7, use the XREF and SXREF (RPT) runtime options. This report lists all the data sets and members that all the jobs being submitted are using, for this CA JCLCheck run.

Report 8 - SUMMARY PROGRAM CROSS REFERENCE

Use only the PXREF and SXREF runtime options. To produce Report 3, Report 4, Report 7, and Report 8, use the PXREF and SXREF (RPT) runtime options. This report lists all the programs that all the jobs being submitted are using, for this CA JCLCheck run.

Report 9 - SUMMARY REPORT REPORT

Use the RPTRPT and SXREF runtime options. This report lists all SYSOUT statements from all the jobs being submitted for this CA JCLCheck run.

Report 10 - FLOW DIAGRAM

Use the GRAPH runtime option. This report is a graphic representation of the flow of the JCL being validated. Report 10 is displayed to a SYSGRAPH DD data set.

Report 11 - PROCEDURE CROSS REFERENCE

Use the PROCXREF runtime option. This report lists all procedures used in the validation of JCL. This report also lists a cross reference of all symbolic parameters used in the procedures and the libraries where the procedures are found.

Report 12 - JCL PROCESSING AUDIT REPORT

Use the AUDIT runtime option. This report shows a statistical summary, input records, and averages of jobs, steps, and DD statements.
