The formats of the parameters passed to the interface routines are independent of the environment. This is true whether the application is a CICS transaction, a TSO command processor, or a batch program.
Because the parameter format and the calling sequence are independent of the processing environment, any installation can easily enforce its own local standards. This significantly reduces the effort required to change an application at a later stage, for example, from batch to a CICS transaction.
CA Spool performs all physical processes, such as allocation of spool files and blocking, deblocking, compression and decompression of data. The application programmer must consider only fixed length logical records.
Application programs using CA Spool Call Interface do not require any new JCL statements or changes to existing ones.
