The CAIKSERL DD Statement

The commit job can produce a sequential data set containing CA Earl statements that define the content of the output data file. The CA Earl program uses this data set to print the data values CAKSLOAD stores in the output data file.

To create this data set, include an CAIKSERL DD statement in the COMMIT JCL with the following required attributes:

CAIKSERL  DSN=xx.ORD.TEST,DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=80,DSORG=PS)

Rule:

Use a data set naming convention that includes the version. This will allow you to list the records generated by both the TEST and PROD versions.

The space required for this file varies depending on the number of definitions in the committed version of the table.

If you don't want the CA Earl program to print the output data file, change the CAIKSERL statement to DD DUMMY.

If you omitted the CAIKSERL DD statement but you still want to run an output file listing:

• Run CAKSARCH with the COPY option to create a new DEVELOPMENT version
• Immediately run CAKSARCH with the COMMIT option and the CAIKSERL DD statement.
