1.4.3.5.3 Overriding the Default Job Submission Parameters

When you instruct the online facility to execute an inquiry
as a batch job, it automatically uses your default job
control specifications.  These include your job statement and
the SYSOUT specifications for the printed report and the SAS
log.

You can override the default specifications for the current
inquiry execution and modify batch job submission parameters
and job card information from the MICF Execution panel (see
Figure 1-25).  If you want to edit the generated job stream
and inquiry program before you submit the job, type Y at the
Edit Generated Jobstream prompt.

If you specify Y (yes) following the "Hold Inq.  Output for
Replay" prompt, MICF will save inquiry outputs (i.e., color
graphics, printed reports, MICSLOG, SAS log) in your private
batch staging inquiry output catalog.  You can use the MICF
Reports and Graphics option to review inquiry outputs after
the batch job completes execution.  Specify N (no) for the
hold batch outputs parameter if you want standard batch
inquiry execution with hardcopy outputs.

You can replay color graphics and/or browse printed reports,
MICSLOG, and SAS log from your batch staging catalog. You can
move inquiry outputs from your batch staging catalog to your
private inquiry output catalog.  You can also delete batch
staging catalog entries.
