Using JCLNeat under CA Roscoe

The JCKNRPF permits you to reformat JCL. It consists of only two panels: the Option panel, which can be hidden, and the File Specification panel.

Normally, the OPTIONS panel is hidden from view. This hiding is accomplished if you enter Y in response to the question "Bypass this panel?" on the OPTIONS panel. This is the last question on the panel. This panel reappears if you use a single optional parameter when executing the RPF.

The following are valid values for the argument and the results:

EXEC_JCKNRPF PANEL

PANEL argument (passed parameter) causes the Hidden Panel to display so that you can optionally make changes.

The RPF also permits the use of OPTION or OPTIONS as alternate arguments to achieve the same results.

EXEC_JCKNRPF RESET

Forces all parameters to reset to the default values listed in the Reference Guide for Version 6.0 or higher.

The RPF also permits use of DEFAULT, DEFAULTS, INITIALIZE, and INITIAL as alternate arguments to achieve the same result.

Note: The PANEXEC option is not available under CA Roscoe.

If the OPTIONS panel is not hidden and you can enter values in it, you are presented with a File Specification panel. The File Specification panel permits you to choose from a wide variety of I/O options. Select any of the following logical files for input/output:

CA Roscoe library member
AWS
Sequential data set
PDS member

Any combination is permitted. For example, you can reformat AWS-to-AWS, PDS(MEM)-to-RosLib, and so on. This RPF permits you to reformat the same PDS member. When this occurs, the RPF informs you that the member is replaced. However, we recommend that you do not replace members until you gain a mastery of how the reformatting option works.

Important! YOU CAN REFORMAT BUT YOU CANNOT UNFORMAT! If you do not replace the member, you can always return to it.

You must decide on a logical file to hold the messages for JCLNeat, either by using the TERMINAL or by selecting a flat file (sequential output) to hold the reports from JCLNeat. If you decide on a flat file, the RPF follows the General File Allocation technique described previously.
