BTSAEDT0 JCL requirements

The JCL for the BTSAEDT0 module, which edits the BTSOUT report that is created by IMS Batch Terminal Simulator, must satisfy certain JCL requirements.

Subsections:

JCL statements

The following list summarizes the JCL statements for BTSAEDT0 JCL.

BTSOUT (Input)
Contains the output report created by IMS Batch Terminal Simulator.

The DCB for this data set is RECFM=FB,LRECL=133.

CNTLCRDS (Input)

Contains the CNTLCRDS control statements

The DCB for this data set is RECFM=FB,LRECL=80.

CROSSREF (Input)
Contains the formatted extracts of the '01'x and '03'x records from BTSAPRE0.

The DCB for this data set is RECFM=VB,LRECL=32756.

OUTFILE (Output)
A report containing the transaction screens will be written.

The DCB for this data set is RECFM=FB,LRECL=133.

STEPLIB (Input)
Describes the library that contains Playback.
SYSPRINT (Output)
Diagnostic messages and summary reports will be written.

The DCB for this data set is RECFM=FB,LRECL=133.

CNTLCRDS control statement keywords

Playback processing can be influenced by the CNTLCRDS control statements that are read from the CNTLCRDS file.

Most control statements are optional. The default result of statement omission is discussed for each keyword.

PROCESS= keyword
This keyword specifies the number of screens you want to process.

The format of the PROCESS= keyword is PROCESS=value where value is a 1- to 8-digit numeral.

The PROCESS= keyword is optional. If omitted, all of the records from where processing begins are processed.

Only one PROCESS= control statement is allowed.

Requirement: If the PROCESS= statement was used in BTSAISR0, it must also be used in the BTSAEDT0. The value associated with PROCESS= can be equal to or less than the value used in BTSAISR0.

You can specify the PROCESS= keyword in BTSAEDT0 even if it was not used in BTSAISR0.

SKIP= keyword
This keyword specifies the number of records you want to skip in the CROSSREF file prior to processing records.

The format of the SKIP= keyword is SKIP=value where value is a 1- to 8-digit numeral.

The SKIP= keyword is optional. If omitted, no records are skipped prior to record processing.

Only one SKIP= control statement is allowed.

Requirement: If the SKIP= statement was used in BTSAISR0, it must also be used in the BTSAEDT0. The value associated with SKIP= must be equal to the value used in BTSAISR0.
