Automatic PROCLIB Recognition

AUTOPROC is an automatic procedure library (PROCLIB) recognition option, which is available for systems running JES2 or JES3. AUTOPROC is not available on Fujitsu MSP Operating Systems.

To use AUTOPROC, you must meet this specific authorization requirement.

Important! The JCLCheck program, its aliases and key programs, must exist in an APF-authorized library that is either a linklist library (LNKLST00) or LPALIB. For more information about establishing CA JCLCheck as APF‑authorized, see the Installation Guide.

When you specify the AUTOPROC option, CA JCLCheck schedules a Service Request Block (SRB) into the JES2 or JES3 address space to collect the procedure library allocations. The operating system returns this information to CA JCLCheck to allocate cataloged procedure libraries to the CA JCLCheck address space. An FRR assembler macro covers the SRB routine for maximum protection. Depending on other runtime options, CA JCLCheck may not have additional authorized code requirements.

Note: For more information about requiring authorization, see the Command Reference Guide.

Execution of CA JCLCheck as an authorized program in batch or under TSO/ISPF can be subject to further restrictions that your security system imposes. Check with the systems programmer or security coordinator at your site when planning to use AUTOPROC.

You should not use the AUTOPROC and PROC options together. If both options are specified, be aware that the following actions take place:

AUTOPROC is invoked to allocate ddnames of the procedure libraries found in the JES2 or JES3 address space.

• If this allocation of the procedure libraries is successful, these libraries are searched for the procedures. The ddnames supplied by the PROC option will be ignored.
• If the allocation of the procedure libraries is unsuccessful, the CAY6182S message is issued. The ddname supplied by the PROC runtime option (if allocated) is the target of the procedure library search.

Specifically, AUTOPROC is in effect unless there is an error message indicating that the allocation failed. If you are using EDCHEK, SUBCHEK or ISPF, you must use TSO/E to run the authorized programs under TSO.

You must use TSO/E to use the AUTOPROC feature. You must also update the appropriate TSO/E authorization tables. In addition, you must execute the CA JCLCheck load modules from an authorized library and link them as authorized (for example, with AC=1).

The EDCHEK interface calls CA JCLCheck which, in turn, uses the TSOLINK service program, CAZ2CTSO module to schedule the SRB as an authorized program.

Note: For more information about the AUTOPROC option, see the Command Reference Guide. For more information about EDCHEK, see The EDCHEK Feature.
