Job Control Statements

Specify the following JCL to execute RMODBB:

JOB

Initiates the job.

EXEC

Specifies the utility program name (PGM=RMODBB) and optionally, the high-level name of the database as the PARM parameter (PARM='DELIVER.SYSTEM1').

STEPLIB DD

Identifies the load library that contains RMODBB.

If the utility program resides in a linklist library, you can omit this statement.

SYSPRINT DD

Identifies the sequential output data set (typically the SYSOUT) to which control statements and messages are to be sent.

If you do not specify a SYSOUT data set, specify DCB=BLKSIZE=nnn, where nnn represents a number that is a multiple of 133.

DATA DD

Defines the sequential input data set.

The data set can contain fixed, variable, or undefined length records.

SYSIN DD

Specifies the name of the card image data set where the control statements you want to input are located.

The keyword TEST can be coded as the second sub parameter of the PARM field in the EXEC control statement to indicate that a test run of the utility is to be made (for example, PARM='DELIVER.SYSTEM1,TEST'). A test run processes all the input data; however, no data is added to the database.
