Controlling Work in Progress › Changing JCL for a Waiting Job

Changing JCL for a Waiting Job

Previously, we saw the JCL Library Maintenance screen that you can use to change the JCL of a job. You can only use that screen to change JCL when the job is not yet in the Request queue. To change the JCL of a job already in the request queue, type E next to the job name on the CPU Jobs Status screen. (Our sample jobs do not have JCL, so do not do this process online.)

The JCL is displayed, either on a screen similar to this one or on an ISPF editor screen when you are using CA Workload Automation SE under ISPF:

       ----+----10---+----20---+----30---+----40---+----50---+----60---+----70*
 PF                                                NOFILL XSEQ (NONUM) I(010)
 00010 //JOBA   JOB ...
 00020 //*      TESTING
 00030 /*JOBPARM R=5070,T=1
 00040 /*ROUTE PRINT USDALSP8
 00050 //STEP1  EXEC  PGM=IEFBR14
 00060 /*









       ----+----10---+----20---+----30---+----40---+----50---+----60---+----70*

You would change the JCL right on this screen and then enter SR over PF to save your changes (or CA7SR under ISPF), and return to the CPU Jobs Status screen.
