Using JCS Panels

When you enter the Job Control Standards dialog panels, the first panel you see is the Standards Selection panel (CAZ1RPSP). This panel allows you to access other panels to select, create/edit, copy, rename, or delete standards. The information you enter on this panel determines the other panels you access.

The Standards Update panel (CAZ1RTSP) and Related Standards Update panel (CAZ1RXSP) contain statement, parameter, and subparameter types that you select to define standard rules. CA JCLCheck evaluates all statement and parameter types that you select on the Standards Update panel (CAZ1RTSP) for compliance enforcement.

Standards Definition panels (CAZ1RnnP) allow you to enter relational operators; EQUAL (EQ), NOT EQUAL (NE), GREATER THAN (GT), LESS THAN (LT), CODED (CO), NOT CODED (NC), ELSE (EL), comparison values, and an action name. The action conveys the path to follow after CA JCLCheck compares the operator and value against the JCL it scans.

The Related Standards Update panel (CAZ1RXSP) allows you to add more statement and parameter type criteria to your rule to initiate an action. CA JCLCheck evaluates all the criteria for these continuing rule paths.

The Related Standards Update panel contains a statement and parameter type called Error/Definition. When you select this statement and parameter type, CA JCLCheck displays the Error Definition panel (CAZ1REHP). Use this panel to define an error message for a JCL standards violation. This panel allows you to define the severity code, message number, and message text.

You use all the panels above to define a rule path. There are also Confirmation panels associated with deleting, updating and escaping standard rules and a Copy/Rename panel (CAZ1RTCP).

Pressing End to save your work returns you through the panel path until you access the Standards Update Confirmation panel (CAZ1RUCP). At this point you can update the standard or cancel it.
