Additional Override Statements

CA WA CA 7 Edition also provides a number of other functions that can be accomplished with statements that also begin with a # in position 1. These statements can be located anywhere within the execution JCL after the JOB statement. (PROCLIB members containing these statements are not seen by CA WA CA 7 Edition and including them there would thus serve no purpose.) They can be scheduled with #Jx statements if wanted; however, they can be included by themselves if conditional inclusion is not necessary. Only the #MSG statement can be scheduled with the #Xx statement.

These statements are valid only when a job using them is brought into the request queue and not at submit time. Thus, the #X statements cannot be used to schedule them (other than the #MSG statement).

Note: Do not use the following override statements with internal cross-platform job types: #MNT (Maintenance run) and #7UNI (batch cross-platform submission).

The following statements can be placed in the execution JCL:

#ARF

Overrides the ARFSET designation on the job definition panel when the JCL is attached for the job.

#HLD

Places the job in HOLD. Similar to the HOLD command and the job definition panel HOLD option.

#JCL

Sets a JCL override requirement.

#MNT

Considers this run a maintenance type run. Similar to the DB.1 panel MAINT option.

#MSG

Sends the messages to the master station at job submission time.

#NOX

Makes this run nonexecutable. Similar to the job definition panel EXEC option.

#NTR

Turns off triggering by successful job completion for this run. Similar to the DEMAND command with SET=NTR option.

#RES

Changes any Workload Balancing resource requirement for this run. Similar to the RESCHNG command.

#SCC

Defines step-level condition code checking criteria.

#VER

Sets manual verification requirement. Similar to the VERIFY command and the job definition panel VERIFY option.

#7UNI

Flags JCL as a cross-platform submission job. The statement must be the first statement in the member.
