Invoking BPXBATCH using JCL

To invoke BPXBATCH using JCL, submit a job that executes an application program and allocates the standard files using DD statements. For example, if you want to run the /myap/base_comp application program from your user ID, direct its output to the file /myap/std/my.out. Direct any error messages to be written to the file /myap/std/my.err; code the JCL statements as follows:

//jobname  JOB …
//stepname EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,PARM='PGM /u/myu/myap/base_comp'
//STDOUT DD PATH='/u/myu/myap/std/my.out',
//         PATHOPTS=OWRONLY,OCREAT,OTRUNC),PATHMODE=SIRWXU
//STDERR DD PATH='/u/myu/myap/std/my.err',
//         PATHOPTS=OWRONLY,OCREAT,OTRUNC),PATHMODE=SIRWXU
