JCL Requirements

When creating a TSSCFILE job, you may specify one or more TSS LIST commands that are needed to extract the data required for your application. The following is a sample TSSCFILE job:

//TSSJOB ACID=SECADMIN,PASSWORD=ILUVTSS
//EXEC   PGM=TSSCFILE
  TSS LIST(ACIDS) DEPT(PAYROLL) DATA(PROFILE,XAUTH)
  TSS LIST(APPLMGR) DATA(ADMIN)
      .
      .
      .

When the TSSCFILE job completes, print (PRT) and punch (PUN) files are returned to your virtual reader:

The PRT file contains the TSSCFILE job log which should be checked for errors.
The PUN file contains the requested data in TSSCFILE internal-format.

Note: CA does not recommend the use of these internal-format records by your application programs. The format of these records are subject to change without notice.

If a program other than TSSREPT will be used to process the records, a second step is required to convert records to external-format TSSCFILE records in a CMS file once the PUN file has been returned to your reader. To perform this step, use the TSSCFILA command as follows:

TSSCFILA jobid <filename <filetype <filemode>>> <(REPlace>

jobid: The TSSCFILE job number that was assigned to the job by the server during execution. You can obtain the jobid by entering a “QUERY READER * ALL” command and examining the NAME field which will be in the form, TSSJnnnn. The value for nnnn should be used as the jobid. This parameter is required.
filename: The filename of the CMS file that is to contain the external-format TSSCFILE records. The default is TSSJnnnn where nnnn is the value specified for jobid.
filetype: The filetype of the CMS file that is to contain the external-format TSSCFILE records. The default is TSSCFILE.
filemode: The filemode of the CMS file that is to contain the external-format TSSCFILE records. The default is A.
REPlace: Indicates that if the CMS file already exists, it should be replaced.
