Use the CA WA CA 7 Edition interface for CA JCLCheck which supports enhanced validation of JCL in the CA7ONL editor and on the LJCK command. CA JCLCheck also supports batch validation of JCL for a stream of forecasted jobs.
In the online environment, the interface displays procedure expansions, so that error messages are reported in a meaningful context. Also, the interface supports checking for the existence of data sets that can prove useful in testing production job streams.
The interface also includes a batch utility that uses the FJOB command to forecast a series of jobs. Next, the utility uses the LJCK command to extract JCL for them so that CA JCLCheck can validate the JCL for the stream as a whole. This utility is requested from an ISPF panel that is provided with CA JCLCheck.
The CA JCLCheck Common Component is a subset of the CA JCLCheck product. CA JCLCheck Common Component is shipped free of charge with CA WA CA 7 Edition to validate JCL statement syntax and job execution within CA7ONL.
CA JCLCheck Common Component is shipped with other CA products. We recommend that you install CA JCLCheck Common Component into its own SMP zone. This installation prevents duplicate installation and duplicate libraries, and eliminates new installation if the primary CA product is upgraded.
The recommended best practice is to place the CA JCLCheck Common Component load library in the linklist and above all other CA products. If it cannot be placed in the linklist, the CA7ONL started task must have a STEPLIB DD pointing to the CA JCLCheck Common Component load library.
If you do not use the AUTOPROC option, add a SYSPROC DD to the CA7ONL started task. This DD statement points to the procedure libraries that you want CA JCLCheck to search for PROC expansion.
Business Value:
Using CA JCLCheck results in fewer JCL errors.
