Bypass execution ddname


To provide another method for controlling the active status of AR/CTL, AR/CTL allows you to define the ddname of a dummy DD statement that deactivates AR/CTL. You can insert this DD statement in the job step JCL if you want to deactivate AR/CTL. This method is useful for temporary deactivation of AR/CTL for one or a few job steps in problem situations.

Permanent deactivation of a job step and temporary deactivation of many job steps is more easily performed with the following methods:

Panel field

Bypass execution ddname

Keyword

BYPASSDD

Values

Set one of the following values:

NONE

Do not define a ddname for the bypass execution DD statement.

DDName

Define this ddname (1 to 8 characters) for the bypass execution DD statement. If the job step JCL contains a DD statement with this ddname, AR/CTL is deactivated for the job step.

Default

NONE
