Posting Member Status for External Processing

CA‑PanAPT provides the ability to indicate the current processing state (status) for a member that requires some type of external processing, such as outside APJJ5320. Do this by executing PROC APJP5391 to indicate when processing starts and ends for a member.

The POSTTYP parameter in PROC APJP5391 controls the type of posting to be accomplished. To do this:

Execute APJP5391 with the POSTTYP parameter set to S to post the beginning of external processing.
After the steps have been completed, execute APJP5391 again with the POSTTYP parameter set to E to post the completion of external processing.

Be sure that condition codes from the processing steps ensure that external processing is successfully completed before posting the completion status. Note that no other values of the POSTTYP parameter should be used outside the normal processing cycle (APJJ5310, APJJ5320).

Using PROC APJP5391 this way, lets CA‑PanAPT track the correct status of all members during the external processing phase of a Move Request.

When you use APJP5391 for external processing, do not specify the OUTPOST parameter, leave it blank. Also, override the APTINPUT DD statement, placing a control record behind it, as shown below:

COLUMNS
1‑6 Move Request number, zero filled
7‑8 Blank
9‑12 Library Code
13‑15 Library SubCode
16‑25 Member Name ($TONAME) left justified

The following statements can be used in a model to create a control statement for external posting.

<$MR>    !$LIBC>   !
             !$LIBSUBC>   !
                !$TONAME>

The modeling keywords and their starting columns are:

Keyword	Description	Starting Column
$MR	Move Request number	1
$LIBC	Library Code	9
$LIBSUBC	Library Subcode	13
$TONAME	Member TONAME	16

For an explanation of anchoring keywords in specific columns, see the Model Data Statements topic in Chapter 4, "Modeling Facility," in the CA‑PanAPT Administrator Guide.

The CA‑PanAPT modeling facility provides external processing models to perform and post external processing as described above. You can also create your own models.

For a detailed explanation of coding the parameters for PROC APJP5391, see the "Batch Component" chapter.

APJP5391 executes program APCS5391. This program sets a condition code of 0 to indicate successful action, or it ABENDs.
