Job Control Statements

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

These job control statements are necessary to execute SARTSLST:

JOB

Initiates the job.

EXEC

Specifies the program name (PGM=SARTSLST).

The PARM parameter specifies the high-level name of the database, and the tape sequence number or a range of tapes to look up.

Examples:

PARM= 'VIEW.SYSTEM1,14'

Lists active reports on archival tape 14.

PARM= 'VIEW.SYSTEM1,5-100'

Lists active reports on archival tapes 5 through 100.

PARM= 'VIEW.SYSTEM1,10-20,DR'

Lists active reports on DR tapes 10 through 20.

STEPLIB DD

Defines the load library containing SARTSLST.

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

SYSPRINT DD

Defines the sequential output data set (normally SYSOUT) into which the listing of uncataloged tapes is written.

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

SYSUDUMP

Defines a file for MVS dump output.

CTLCARDS

Specifies the creation of SARBCH statements to take action on the SYSOUT: the action is to either back it up again or delete it if there is no disk copy.
