CA JCLCheck Runtime Options › Description of Runtime Options › PXREF

PXREF

The PXREF option activates the program and member existence checking and reporting feature.

This option has the following format:

PXref(Rpt|NORpt)¬|NOPXref

Default: PXref(Rpt)

Rpt

(Optional) Generates Report 4 - Program Cross-Reference Report.

NORpt

(Optional) Suppresses Report 4 - Program Cross-Reference Report.

• PXREF is a standard default option. If you specify NOPXREF, CA JCLCheck does not perform program or member existence checking.
• If you request the PXREF option, but omit the reporting operand, CA JCLCheck activates the feature and produces the report.
• In non-z/OS systems, program existence checking requires a SYSDDxxx DD statement for each volume containing a program library referenced by a JOBLIB or STEPLIB DD statement. In practice, if the PXREF option is used in a non-z/OS system, it is usually most convenient to add a SYSDDxxx DD statement to the CA JCLCheck cataloged procedure for every resident or reserved volume in the installation. The CTLSCAN, EASYPROC and PXREF options all use these DD statements for dynamic allocation.

  Note: For information about reporting considerations if related job processing is invoked, see SXREF.

Example: Perform checking and suppress Report 4

The following example causes CA JCLCheck to perform program and member existence checking but suppresses the Report 4 - Program Cross-Reference Report.
