Usage considerations and limitations

Non-IBM systems (for example, Fujitsu and Hitachi) are not supported with the ChekPlex remote validation feature.

ChekPlex uses system generated ddnames and temporary files when running the JCLCheck validation. This limits the use of options that require fixed ddnames. To use fixed ddnames, they have to be allocated to the target GTS server and then apply to all validation requests done on that target server.

ChekPlex will add or modify options you provide in the following cases:

• Calling options — system generated ddnames are used for all input data. For example, SYSIN (INPUT option), SYSPROC (PROC option), and OPROC (OPROC option). These options are overridden by ChekPlex to system generated ddnames (SYSxxxxx).
• Options added by ChekPlex — ChekPlex adds options to change input and output ddnames to use system-generated ddnames. ChekPlex also adds an RV option that indicates JCLCheck is running on a remote node.
