Coding the JCL statements for comparing control blocks in batch

The following figure shows a generic example of the JCL to compare control blocks in batch.

The example shows all of the statements that Database Integrity ever uses during the comparison process.

When doing a comparison, the significant DD statements are those that describe the DBD, PSB, DIR, and/or ACB libraries that contain Compare Block 1 and Compare Block 2. You do not have to specify the data sets in the JCL. You can specify the data set names with keywords on the COMPARE control statement instead. You can also specify the PSBLIB, DBDLIB, and ACBLIB data sets on the GLBL statement.
