Reconsider JCL Files

Use procedures instead of inline JCL for performance purposes.

CA WA CA 7 Edition places a copy of execution JCL for job submission in the trailer queue when a job comes into the request queue for processing. PDS access can be degraded when there are large numbers of members within the file for either or both of the following:

Using PDSMAN or any other PDS performance product can help by placing the PDS directory in storage. Also, a large JCL member can take longer to submit.

Business Value:

Your jobs enter the CA7ONL request queue faster.
