Check Parameter Library Members for Syntax Errors

Use the CA MIM SyntaxSCAN Utility to scan the MIMPARMS and MIMMSGS files for syntax errors.

Follow these steps:

  1. Copy the SyntaxSCAN Utility sample JCL PROC located in CAI.CBTDPROC(PROCSYN) and any JCL PROCLIB that is automatically searched as part of the z/OS START command processing, such as SYS2.PROCLIB. You can optionally rename the PROC. Most sites name their CA MIM SynaxSCAN Utility JCL PROC MIMSCAN.

    The sample JCL PROC uses the default data set names CAI.CBTDPARM, CAI.CBTDLOAD, and CAI.CBTDMSEN on the MIMPARMS, STEPLIB, and MIMMSGS DDs, respectively. Customize your copy of the JCL PROC to use the actual data set names of the deployed runtime copies of those data sets.

  2. Start your copy of the JCL PROC.
  3. Review the SYSLOG and JOBLOG for error messages. If no errors are found, then your CA MIM parmlib members are ready. If you find errors, correct the errors and rerun the SyntaxSCAN Utility.

Note: For more information about using the CA MIM SyntaxSCAN Utility, see the CA MIM Programming Guide.
