Job Control Statements

Sample execution JCL can be found in member HAEXRCOV in your CVDEJCL data set.

These job control statements are used to execute SARRCOV:

JOB

Initiates the job.

EXEC

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

STEPLIB DD

Defines the load library containing SARRCOV.

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

SYSUDUMP DD

Defines the output data set (normally SYSOUT) used for listing the system memory contents at the time of an abend.

SARRECV DD

Defines a user-maintained sequential data set used as the recovery file.

REPORT DD

Defines the sequential output data set (normally SYSOUT) used for listing the control statements and messages.

If not a SYSOUT data set, DCB=BLKSIZE=nnn must be coded where nnn is a multiple of 133.

SYSIN DD

Defines a card image data set containing the control statements that are to be input.
