User-defined programs or services

DASD MANAGER PLUS supports user-defined programs (also called user-defined Services) as well as your other Services (previously called job steps) as part of a Service Action.

When you specify the JCL elements for generating the Service as shown in the following table, DASD MANAGER PLUS substitutes symbolic variables before generating control cards for JCL Generation.

JCL elements for generating Services

JCL element

Description

EXEC statement information

  • Program name
  • PARM list that includes symbolic variables
  • APF authorization indicator
  • Attach key indicator

DD statement information (including STEPLIBS)

  • ddnames including symbolic variables (such as sequence number)
  • DD specifications including symbolic variables
  • DD type of INPUT, OUTPUT, PGMLIB, or REPORT

Syntax information

Template syntax including symbolic variables

The following table lists the symbolic variables that DASD MANAGER PLUS supports. Use && (two ampersands) to indicate that DASD MANAGER PLUS should not substitute the variable and that it should remove one ampersand and generate the rest in the syntax. If the product encounters an ampersand with a symbol that it does not recognize, it generates the symbolic variable in the text. For a description of JCLGEN symbolic variables, see JCLGEN.
