 Figure 4-94.  Utility Job Control Specifications Worksheet
Use the worksheet to define the following parameters:

 1.  JOB IDENTIFIER

     Description:  Three characters that are part of the
     utility job name.  The job names are in the form
     ACTJjidO, where jid is the job identifier.

     Default:  None

     Values:  Character, length 3

     Note:  This entry must begin with a U or Z for the jobs
            you add.

 2.  PANEL IDENTIFIER

     Description:  Three characters that are part of the
     panel names used to verify the job information.  The
     panel names are in the form ACTPpid, where pid is the
     panel identifier.  These members are in the standard
     sharedprefix.MICS.ISPPLIB library.  For new jobs, you
     can use one of our standard panel identifiers or code a
     new member into the ISPPLIB library, following the same
     naming convention.

     Default:  None

     Values:  Character, length 3, the last three positions
     of the CA MICS ISPPLIB member names. The three standard
     members in the ISPPLIB library are ACTPCPX, ACTPEXT, and
     ACTPUNT.

     Note:  The ACTPCPX panel is used for complex job
            information.  The ACTPEXT panel is used for
            external file job information.  The ACTPUNT panel
            is used for unit-level job information, but can
            also be used for complex jobs when the unit
            identifier is blank.

 3.  EXTERNAL FILE NAME

     Description:  This is optional. If the job performs
     functions associated with one of your defined external
     file names, provide the file name.

     Default:  None

     Values:  Character, length 6, any external file name
     defined in your external file definition

     Note:  The only standard utility job that requires an
            external file name is the CCL job identifier.

 4.  UNIT IDENTIFIER

     Description:  Specifies the identifier associated with a
     unit database.  This identifier is optional.

     Default:  NO

     Values:  Character, length 2

     Note:  The only standard utility job that can use a unit
            identifier is the PRO job identifier.  If a unit
            identifier is not used, then the PRO job updates
            the complex level ISPF prorate table.

 5.  GENERATOR PROCESS MEMBER

     Description:  The name of a SOURCE member that performs
     additional processing, such as generating SAS PROC
     FORMATs.

     Default: None

     Values:  Character, length 8


 6.  DESCRIPTION

     Description:  Specifies a description for the utility
     job.

     Default:  None

     Values:  Character, length 44

 7.  INPUT DATA SET

     Description:  Specifies the name of the input data set.

     Default:  NO

     Values:  Character, length 44
