How to Use Job Control Standards › Adding a Standard

Adding a Standard

In this exercise you create a standard called TESTSTD on the Standard Rules database. This standard directs CA JCLCheck to check all test jobs for job names that begin with T. If the job name does not begin with T, it directs CA JCLCheck to display an error message.

To do this, you must access a series of panels and perform a number of steps to define the criteria for the TESTSTD standards rule and the action that is the result of this rule.

The following are the basic steps for adding a standard:

1. Create the standard name
2. Select the statement and parameter type
3. Define the standards rule
4. Select the action
5. Define the action
6. Confirm the standard
7. Compile the standard
8. Use the standard
9. Print the standard

To access the Job Control Standard panels, enter %JCKSTD at the TSO READY prompt or as a TSO command at the OPTION line if you are in ISPF.
