CA JCLCheck Runtime Options

This chapter contains information about the CA JCLCheck runtime options. They affect a wide range of input, processing, and output functions. Each installation has its own set of defaults, and with each execution of CA JCLCheck you can change the defaults or options for that run. As the initiation of processing begins, CA JCLCheck evaluates the options in effect for that execution.

You can override the default options for each execution of CA JCLCheck in one of the following ways:

Through the ISPF online panels
Using the supplementary OPTIONS file (OPTIONS=) (if an OPTIONS file is present)
Using the PARM field on the EXEC statement (PARM=)

You either select these options in the ISPF online panels, or identify them to CA JCLCheck as keyword parameters in the PARM field of the EXEC statement. You can specify the OPTIONS= option in this field (which allows you to supply additional options on a card-image file), as well as other options. For more information, see OPTIONS.

The message output that precedes the standard CA JCLCheck reports display:

The options that were supplied (using the OPTIONS file or the PARM field)
Warning or error messages that are associated with those options
