Introduction › How the Started Task Works › How Tasks Work: Pre-Spool › Open Processing

Open Processing

For open processing, the started task verifies whether:

• The class of the job is specified by the JOBCLSL initialization parameter
• The SYSOUT class is specified by the SYSCLSL initialization parameter
• The job name or the alternate job name (optionally based on the JOBREF initialization parameter) is defined for the database
• The job-step name and procedure step name match
• One or more report definitions exist in the database for the DD statement that is being opened
• The name of the program being executed is not SARINIT, SARDBB, SARDBASE, RMODBB, or RMODBASE.

Note: The following CA View and CA Deliver utility programs SARINIT, SARDBB, SARDBASE, RMODBB, or RMODBASE output require post spool processing. Pre-spool capture of these CA View and CA Deliver programs' output is no longer allowed. Reports generated by these programs are not candidates for dynamic report creation.
