JCLNeat Options › Description of JCLNeat Options › SIM

SIM

The SIM option simulates all JCLNeat processing, without writing the results to the output file. All reports are produced as if the JCL were updated. This allows you to preview the JCL that is affected, before actually making the change.

This option has the following format:

SIM=Y|N

Y

Turns on simulation.

N

Turns off simulation. JCLNeat produces an output file, with the formatted JCL, changed JCL, or both. This is the default.

Notes:

• Under ISPF, this option does not format the JCL in the EDIT work area. Since there are not any reports under ISPF, there are not any reports to simulate.
• SIM is a batch runtime only option. You cannot specify SIM=Y as a system installation default.
