PRSCF Command

The PRSCF command frees a shared, exclusive, or RCT resource that is connected to a job that:

Is currently executing
Is in ABEND status in the request queue
Has already executed and purged from the request queue

PRSCF can also remove a virtual resource from consideration of a job currently in the active workload and waiting to execute.

This command has the following format:

PRSCF,JOB={jobname|jobnumber},RSRC=resource[,FORCE=YES]

JOB

Specifies the name or CA WA CA 7 Edition number of the job to which the resource is attached.

jobname

Indicates a specific job name.

Limits: 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters

jobnumber

Indicates a specific CA 7 job number.

Limits: 1 to 4 numeric characters

RSRC

Specifies the fully qualified resource name to free. You can optionally specify * to indicate to free all resources that are connected to the job.

Limits: 1 to 44 alphanumeric characters

FORCE

(Optional) FORCE=YES indicates that CA WA CA 7 Edition is not to evaluate the availability of the named resources for this run of the job only. This run of the job does not use the named resources. This keyword can be used on an exception basis to let a job in a W-RSRC status bypass VRM checking for one or more resources defined for it on the RM.1 panel.
