Report 10 - Flow Diagram

The Flow Diagram report is a graphic representation of the flow of the JCL processed by CA JCLCheck. The first page lists the name of the JCL member being charted and any JOBLIB, JOBCAT, or PROCLIB data sets associated with the job. STEPLIB and STEPCAT data sets are listed at the beginning of each step. Input and output data sets, respectively, are listed on the left and right side of the process box (procstep/step/program). As much relevant information as is available from the JCL or the system catalog is also listed for each symbol:

In addition, this information is listed for tape data sets:

In addition, this information is listed for SYSOUT data sets:

The process symbol shows the procedure and procedure step name, or instream step name, along with the program name.

Standard flowchart graphic symbols are used to represent disk, tape, card and printed files, communications lines, and online terminals. For impact printers, the symbols themselves are labeled. Non-impact printers do not have labeled symbols, as they can achieve higher graphic resolution. Each symbol includes the ddname and the corresponding statement number from the JCL.

When a chart for one step extends beyond one page, the process symbol is repeated, with page connectors on each page.

Concatenated DD statements are represented by having the file symbol duplicated. All concatenated files are listed in order of concatenation. Concatenated files that extend on to a second page do not generate repeated symbols.
