EDCHEK Control Statements

Code EDCHEK control statements in standard AMS syntax using columns 1 through 71 (see exception in the note that follows). Continue statements using a dash (-).

Three valid EDCHEK control statements exist:

EDCHEK

Specifies the CA JCLCheck processing options CA JCLCheck uses to analyze the submitted JCL.

Note: Normally, since EDCHEK generates the TERM output, report control options do not have any effect. The following section describes how to allocate a file to receive standard report output, if CA JCLCheck uses the LIST(ddname) option. You can also specify the report control options on the EDCHEK control statement.

If you specify the AUTOPROC option, use it as the last option on the EDCHEK statement. See the examples on the following pages.

ALLOCATE

Allocates the PROCLIBs CA JCLCheck requires to locate cataloged procedures referenced in the submitted JCL. This statement is optional.

Do not use ALLOCATE statements to allocate procedure libraries if you specify the AUTOPROC option. This action causes a duplicate allocation for the same DDNAME and message CAY6300 is issued with a DAIR code of 0410.

GO

Specifies the end of the control statement file and initiates CA JCLCheck processing. This statement does not have any operands. This statement is required unless you specify the AUTOPROC option.

Do not use the GO statement if you specify the AUTOPROC option.

Note: Except for the EDCHEK control statement (which replaces the SUBCHEK control statement), the control statements for EDCHEK are identical to those statements for SUBCHEK. You can use two examples, CAZ1SEDA and CAZ1SEDP, in the CAZ2OPTN library to turn EDCHEK on and off. CAZ1SEDP is non-AUTOPROC and CAZ1SEDA is AUTOPROC.

You can include a comment statement by preceding the text with an asterisk (*) in column 1. This syntax is the only valid syntax you can use for comments.
