Using the ChekPlex feature in CA JCLCheck

This section describes how to activate ChekPlex in CA JCLCheck.

Using ChekPlex in batch

To use ChekPlex in batch, the REMOTE option must be set and the REMVAL DD statement must be defined.

The following is a small JCL fragment that contains a reference to the REMVAL file and the REMOTE option:

//REMVAL  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=USERID.JCLCHECK.CNTL(REMVAL)
//OPTS    DD  *
REMOTE
JOB FULLLIST XREF

The results of the JCL validation are similar to the validation results when ChekPlex is not used, but for each target node that validated the JCL, there will be the following special heading prior to the SYSTERM and GRAPH files. The heading identifies the target node that did the validation.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@    Target Server PROD     @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

The heading prior to the SYSPRINT file contains all of the REMVAL file control options including defaults in the order they appear.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@    Target Server PROD     @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@    Local Server  TEST     @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@    Source Server TEST     @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@   PROC    TEST.PROCLIB                                    @@@@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

To use ChekPlex from the ISPF panel, the REMOTE option must be set and the REMVAL DD statement must be defined.

The following is part of the Additional Processing Options panel (JCK0203) and the EDCHEK Options Menu (JCK21). Both panels contain fields to activate remote validation.

Note: For a full description of the JCK0203 panel, see Additional Processing Options Panel in the Command Reference Guide.

For a full description of the JCK21 panel, see Invoking with the EDCHEK Facility in the Command Reference Guide. 

RUNTIME  - Do runtime checking of JCL (all runtime checks)	=> Y


REMOTE   - Do remote validation of JCL				=> Y


  		=> E  => USERID1.JCK.CNTL(REMVAL)

The results of the JCL validation are similar to the validation results when ChekPlex is not used, but for each target node that validated the JCL, there will be a special heading as shown in the previous section “Using ChekPlex in batch”.
