EDIT—SUBMIT subcommand

Use the SUBMIT subcommand of EDIT to submit one or more batch jobs for processing. Each job submitted must reside in either a sequential data set, a direct-access data set, or in a member of a partitioned data set. Submitted data sets must be fixed-blocked, 80 byte records. Using the EDIT command to create a CNTL data set provides the correct format.

Any of these data sets can contain part of a job, one job, or more than one job that can be executed by a single entry of SUBMIT. Each job must comprise an input job stream (JCL plus data). If the characters in these data sets are lowercase, do not submit data sets with descriptive qualifiers TEXT or PLI.

Job statements are optional. The generated jobname is your user ID plus an identifying character. SUBMIT prompts you for the character and inserts the job accounting information from the user's LOGON command on any generated job card. The system or installation default MSGCLASS and CLASS are used for submitted jobs unless MSGCLASS and CLASS are specified on the job statement(s) being submitted.

You must be authorized by RACF® to use SUBMIT.
