Job Control Standards (JCS) are rules that enforce site-specific standards for JCL. A site administrator defines these rules using ISPF panels. The administrator defines the rules by entering relational operators with JCL statement and parameter types to elicit specific actions.
For instance, suppose your company wants all payroll jobs to process in a specific JOB CLASS. With Job Control Standards you can define a rule to compare the JOBNAME to the JOB CLASS value. You can define an action, in a rule, which submits the job if it meets the specified criteria (JOBNAME and CLASS value) or produce an error message if it does not.
The criteria can be simple (using only one statement and parameter/subparameter type to define a standard action) or complex (using multiple statement and parameter/subparameter types to define standard actions).
The Job Control Standard panels consist of Selection panels, Update panels, Definition panels, Error Definition panels, and Confirmation panels that allow you to perform all necessary functions to maintain the standard rules.
Note: You can also specify Job Control Standards using the REXX interface.
While the Job Control Standards rules are a fully supported function of CA JCLCheck, the preferred implementation of Job Control Standards is through the REXX interface. For more information about JCL elements that are currently supported by the Job Control Standards rules file, see Parameters Supported by Compliance/Enforcement. Since this list has been stabilized, any new JCL elements will be added to the REXX interface only.
