NGTSSJCL data set

You can use the SmartSwitch feature in LOADPLUS to generate BMC AMI Utilities (BMC AMI Utilities) control statements. These control statements includes JOB, EXEC, and DD statements. You can then use the BMC AMI Utilities control statements to execute a native job in BMC AMI Load for Db2 (BMC AMI Load) without using the SmartSwitch feature.

The JOB statement in the generated BMC AMI Utilities control statements is a skeleton. Modify the JOB statement (for example, the accounting information and job class) to suit your site requirements. 

Important

  • SmartSwitch does not generate some DD statements (such as SYSREC). Add these statements manually.
  • BMC AMI Utilities commands and keywords generated in the SYSIN DD are separated by spaces, not wrapped.

Generating the NGTSSJCL DD

The SmartSwitch feature generates the BMC AMI Utilities control statements even if you do not specify the NGTSSJCL data set.

  • Specify //NGTSSJCL DD DUMMY if you do not want to use, save, or see NGTSSJCL.
  • If you do not specify a data set, the data is generated to SYSOUT.

Allocating the NGTSSJCL DD

You can allocate the NGTSSJCL data set to one of the following data sets:

  • A specified SYSOUT class (using the following syntax:  //NGTSSJCL DD SYSOUT=*)
  • A BSAM sequential data set
  • A partitioned data set (PDS) with a specified member name

Important

  • Allocation occurs only after a successful SmartSwitch execution.
  • The data set to which you allocate NGTSSJCL must have the DCB attributes: RECFM=FB,LRECL=80.
  • If SmartSwitch execution fails, SmartSwitch will not generate the BMC AMI Utilities control statements.
  • If the correct DCB attributes are not applied, SmartSwitch will not generate the BMC AMI Utilities control statements and will issue error message, BMC50197I.
  • Failure to generate the NGTSSJCL has no effect on the return code.
