On Demand Error Messages

Another option available to the COBOL exit is the use of any of the four on demand error messages provided by CA JCLCheck:

JCL996I

Informational (severity 0)

JCL997W

Warning (severity 4)

JCL998E

Error (severity 8)

JCL999W

Serious Error (severity 12)

These four error message codes allow you to specify a 120-character error message of any variable text without altering the JCLMSG member of the CA JCLCheck CAZ2SRC library. Specify the error message according to the error severity level that you want.

We recommend that the variable message text include a user-specific error code to assist in classifying the results displayed on the CA JCLCheck error report.

Error messages generated by a COBOL user exit process are not subject to JCLCHECK-ERREXIT processing.
