Executing a Job as Dummy or Including Epilog Scripts

Job Execution as a Dummy Job

The execution of a dummy job means that the job is running without job control and without its own action within Entire Operations. Dummy jobs can have an expected run time, which they will be waiting in the system. Dummy jobs will always terminate with the state o.k..

For detailed information on dummy jobs, see Using a Dummy Job.

Job Execution Including an Epilog Script (UNIX and Windows)

You can run an epilog script within the JCL frame of a UNIX or Windows job. The epilog script is called by the frame script and runs after the main script. Usually, the frame script calls the main script directly.

For detailed information on using and defining epilog scripts, see Reserved Symbol for Epilog Scripts (UNIX and Windows) in the section Symbol Table and Symbol Maintenance.
