LINKCTL DD statement (PTF BQQ4959 applied)


The JCL for AR/CTL for Db2 DSNHLI utility consists of the mandatory LINKCTL DD statement. The LINKCTL data set must:

  • Be a PDS with the following DCB parameters:
  • Have enough free directory space for the ARDUHLI0 program to add members required for the generated Linkage Editor control statements
  • Have enough free data space for the ARDUHLI0 program to write all generated Linkage Editor control statements

The following figure shows sample LINKCTL data set information:
