JCL Overrides

The JCL Override facility can dynamically include or omit override statements based on current execution requirements for a given job. Both scheduled and unscheduled override requirements are supported. CA Workload Automation SE provides tools to validate the syntax of these statements.

Additionally, the CA Driver component facilitates automatic manipulation of JCL during job submission. Some of the features include:

• Date manipulation in JCL (or in-stream data)
• Conditional expansion of JCL
• Using variable parameters in JCL
• Nesting procedures

Also, the global variable feature allows for variable substitution in JCL either with CA Driver or without using CA Driver.
