Geek Question: Anyone know JCL?

[mailin 0]

I hope so... cause I think everyone else that knows it has been dead for many years

I know if I had to do this stuff I'd be

Seriously, if anyone knows JCL and can answer a few newbie questions I'd appreciate it

newbie to Job Control Language? Not many of them around, newbies, that is. If you really need it bad I can put you in touch with a couple of gee-whizzers at it, at least I think they still use it. Be sure to metion the OS, version, etc.

So nope, no help from me.

You can have it good, fast, or cheap: pick two.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Hi Wendy!

I'm just trying to finish an assignment for one of my classes... I missed the class that he went over JCL in, as I was having fun in Florida

I got most of my questions answered last night by Bill (Thanks again! ).

Now I'm just trying to create the JCL to process the following job (not necessarily fishing for answers, as I should be doing this on my own, unless of course, some knowledge able person wants to supply it )

Write a job statment that will:

~ Contain a job name; the account number - 130; the account info - FINANCIAL and programmer's initials - JD


~ Run in job class - A and print out messagess - A


~ Print all JCL and system-generated messages


~ Be assigned lowest priority


~ Be set up so that it will scan the JCL for syntax errors


~ Be coded on two statments


Contain the following 3 steps:


* Executes Propgram P10000 which should not run longer than 2 minutes CPU time, should be passed the PARM information - 

1999 and reads the following files:


- TAPEIN - input, fixed length, blocked tape file, record length - 80, block length - 6400, data set name  

YTD.OLDMSTR, volume serial - 123456


- PRINTOUT - Output report going to SYSOUT - A


- DISKOUT - out put, fixed length blocked disk file, record length - 100, block length - 1000, data set name - 

DAILY.TRANS, allocate primary and secondary space in tracks releasing unused space.  And cataloged for future use.


* Execute Program P10001 which should not run longer than 1 min. 15 sec CPU time.  Program P10001 reads or writes 

the following files:


- DISKIN - input, fixed length blocked disk file created in step 1, file will be scratched after it is used.


- TAPEIN1 - Input, fixed blocked, tape file, record length - 80, block length - 6400, data set name - MTD.OLDMSTR.  

This is a cataloged data set.


- TAPEIN2 - Input, fixed blocked, tape file, record length - 100, block length - 1000, data set name - MTD.TRANS.  

Cataloged data set and file should be retained on the same tape for step 3.


* Step 3 executes Program P10003 which should not run longer than 30 second CPU time.  Program P10003 reads or writes 

the following files:


- TAPEIN - Input, fixed blocked, tape file.  (Step 2 TAPEIN2)


- DISKIN - Input, fixed length blocked disk file, record length - 125, block length - 1250, data set name - 

MTD.REPORT.  This file can be read by several programs at the same time.


- PRINTOUT1 - Output, reprot file going to SYSOUT -X.


- DISKOT1 -  Output, fixed block, disk file, record length - 80, block length - 3200, data set name - DAILY.REPORT.  

Allocate space in block length, allocating primary, continguous space only.  This file should be catalogued for ater use.


- TAPEOUT - Output, fixed blocked, tape file, record length - 100, block length - 6400, data set name - YTD.ACTIVITY.  

This is a cataloged data set.

*exhales*

Ya, so.... thats what I'll spend the rest of the day doing

Geez, I've never even seen a mainframe before

This should be vewy vewy interesting...

haha, if you're talking about the Junior Classical League, I'm sorry to say that I was a state officer while I was in high school. I think you're talking about some computer mumbo jumbo, though, so I'll get back to studying.....
