User Exits › COBOL User Exit Facility › COBOL Standard Exits

COBOL Standard Exits

The COBOL user exits are invoked at defined times during the CA JCLCheck scan of a job. The following exits are available:

JCLCHECK-DDEXIT

CA JCLCheck calls this exit when it completes validation for a DD statement (except overridden procedure DD statements).

JCLCHECK-EOJEXIT

CA JCLCheck calls this exit when it completes validation for a job, prior to printing any reports for the job.

JCLCHECK-ERREXIT

CA JCLCheck calls this exit immediately prior to storing an error message for a statement. (See the following section for additional information about this exit.)

JCLCHECK-EXECEXIT

CA JCLCheck calls this exit when it completes validation for an EXEC statement.

JCLCHECK-JOBEXIT

CA JCLCheck calls this exit when it completes validation for a JOB statement.

JCLCHECK-STEPEXIT

CA JCLCheck calls this exit when it completes validation of a step.

JCLCHECK-EOJEXIT

CA JCLCheck calls this exit when it completes validation of a file.

In addition to receiving processing control at the points listed here, CA JCLCheck calls the COBOL exit program at INITIATION and at END-OF-FILE. These execution points allow for user-specific startup or shutdown tasks, such as opening or closing of subsidiary files, and loading of tables.

CA JCLCheck does not provide exit points for utility control statements, JES statements, JCL comment statements, or raw JCL procedure statements.
