Generating JCL online

When generating JCL online, Adabas Audit Data Retrieval tailors the JCL using the following:

  • Skeletons from the BETA97.ISPSLIB (skeleton library)
  • Jobcard from your user profile (Option P.3)
  • Values for load libraries, parameter library, and LST members specified in the subsystem options record (Option S.2)

The generated JCL is displayed in the ISPF editor, which you can use to modify, save, or submit the JCL. To submit the job, enter the primary command SUBMIT or SUB.
