REXX Interface for CA JCLCheck

CA JCLCheck provides a REXX interface to help enforce site standards by issuing messages when the standards are violated. As best practice, use the REXX interface instead of the Assembler user exit. The REXX exec is easier to implement and does not require a USERMOD to assemble and link it into CA JCLCheck. A sample REXX exec named CAZ1REXX is provided in the CAZ2OPTN library. Use CAZ1REXX as a template to create your own standards. The REXX interface for CA JCLCheck cannot be used to alter JCL statements.

Before you code your REXX exec, see REXX for JCLCheck and JCLNeat in the Programming Guide.

To activate the REXX interface for CA JCLCheck, the following tasks must be done:

• Allocate the library containing the REXX exec to the SYSEXEC DD statement. The SYSEXEC DD statement must be in the CA JCLCheck job (batch mode) or TSO logon proc/CLIST (ISPF mode).
• Add runtime option STDREXX (name), where name is the REXX exec found in the //SYSEXEC DD statement.
• Add runtime option REXXMSG if the Message Processing routine is used.
