Change the Date Format Shown on Panels

The date format, date separator character, and time separator characters are specified in the RMODFMT load module.

The date format is specified in the first byte (hex location 00) of the load module as a hexadecimal value of 00 through 07 as follows:

• A date separator character can be assigned in the second byte (hex location 01) of the load module. The default data separator is a slash (/).
• A time separator character can be assigned in the third byte (hex location 03) of the load module.

  The default time separator is a colon (:).

  Note: Use printable characters that are not likely to be confused with syntactical data, such as a comma or a quotation mark for the date and time separator characters.

• Use USERMOD BRNSDFMT in CAI.CVDEJCL to set values in RMODFMT.

  Change the values in the REP statements in the AMASPZAP input to the values that you want.

For example, if you selected MM/DD/YY for your default format, a dash (-) for the date separator, and no change for the time separator, change the AMASPZAP statements in BRNSDFMT as follows:

• The first field in the VER and REP statements contains the location in the module that is being changed. In this case, it is 0000. Do not change this value.
• The second field contains four hexadecimal values separated into groups of two by a comma.
• The VER statement verifies that the values in this statement are the same as the values found at location 0000 in RMODFMT.
• The REP statement gives the values that will replace the data at location 0000 in RMODFMT.

In the preceding example:

• The first position in field 2 in the REP statement was changed from 00 to 04 to specify the MM/DD/YY date format as defined in the preceding table.
• The second position was changed from 61 (/) to 60 (-).
• The third position is unchanged since we are not changing the time separator in this example.
• The fourth position is never changed.

Note: If you want to make a change to RMODFMT, you must reapply this USERMOD.

Set Up the CA 11 Interface

To set up an interface between CA 11 and CA Deliver, verify that one or more of the following conditions exist:

• You use two or more CA Deliver databases.
• CA Deliver and CA 11 run on different operating systems and use the CA Deliver network input feature.
• Another vendor program is installed which does not allow you to specify the CA Deliver database name through parameters on the EXEC statement.
• You use both CA Deliver and CA Balancing Report Control (CA Balancing).

To set up an interface between CA 11 and CA Deliver:

1. Create a sequential data set to specify parameters for the CA Deliver and CA 11 interface program.

   In this data set, specify the names of the CA Deliver databases and the destination where CA 11 runs.

2. If CA 11 is executing on a different operating system, specify the name of this data set in the RMOPARMS DD statement when you set up the CA 11 procedure catalog for CA Deliver.

   In this data set, specify the subsystem name of the CA L‑Serv Database Manager that is to manages the CA Balancing database (if CA Balancing is used with CA Deliver).

Data Set Attributes

These attributes are needed to specify the data set referenced in the RMOPARMS DD statement:

• DSORG=PS
• RECFM=FB
• LRECL=80

Data Set Statements

In this data set, specify these two control statements:

• One or more names of the CA Deliver databases that are used.
• The name of the JES2 or JES3 destination on which CA 11 runs, if it is executing on a different operating system.

Syntax of Control Statements in the Data Set

The syntax of the statement used to specify the name of a CA Deliver database is:

NAME high-level-name

where high-level-name represents the name of the CA Deliver database.

The syntax of the statement used to specify the name of the destination on which CA 11 runs is:

FROM-NODE NAME=JES2/JES3-dest-where-CA 11-runs

where JES2/JES3-dest-where-CA 11-runs represents the name of the originating destination on which CA 11 runs.

These control statements are also described in the Reference Guide.

If there are identical job definitions in different CA Deliver databases, maintain the order of the CA Deliver databases in the data set referenced in the RMOPARMS DD statement for your entire execution.
