Configuration Files and Output Files

The CSV and PDF configuration files assist CA JCLCheck in the conversion process.

Default CSV and PDF configuration files are provided in CAI.CAZ2OPTN(CONFIGCS) and CAI.CAZ2OPTN(CONFIGPD) respectively. These default configuration files DO NOT have to be changed by the user; however, if the user wants to change the text and formatting of the conversion output, this can be done by following the instructions outlined in the remainder of this section.

The CSV and PDF output files are created by CA JCLCheck as a result of the conversion process. After the CA JCLCheck job terminates, the CSV and PDF converted output files should be downloaded to a personal workstation.

When downloading the CSV output file, use the ASCII, CRLF, and NOTRUNC file transfer/conversion parameters. The file name suffix on the personal workstation should be .csv. Also, when you invoke Excel on the personal workstation, set the AutoFormat option (under Format) in order to view the columns properly.

When downloading the PDF output file, it must be transferred in binary or image format. Do not use any conversion parameters because the output file is already in ASCII. The file name suffix on the personal workstation should be .pdf.
