Generating JCL with the ISPF interface

You can use the ISPF interface to generate the JCL for executing 

Pointer Checker

 as a stand-alone utility.

The following general procedure outlines the steps in the process:

  1. Access the BMC Software IMS DBU Product Selection Menu panel.
  2. Type s next to Data Integrity Products.
  3. Press Enter.
  4. Select option 1 to access the Pointer Checker primary menu.
  5. On the Pointer Checker primary menu, type or verify the IMSID, the name of the DBD library, and the name of the library that contains the global options modules, typically the BMC Software load library.
  6. Select option 4. Pointer Checker displays the DBD Name Selection List panel. Type or verify the data set names of the input libraries and select the input DBD(s).
  7. Press Enter. Pointer Checker displays the first page of the Processing Options panel.
  8. Verify or type over the option values shown. Press Enter to display the next page of the Processing Options panel. When you press Enter on the last page, Pointer Checker displays the DBD Name Exclusion panel. Select the DBD(s) to exclude from the generated JCL, if necessary.
  9. Press Enter. Pointer Checker invokes the BMC Software Job Submission Facility panels. Provide the requested information, and then edit, submit, or save the generated JCL.

The following sections discuss the JCL generation panels in more detail. See Using-the-ISPF-interface for information about the BMC Software IMS DBU Product Selection Menu, the Pointer Checker primary menu, and the general use of the ISPF interface.

Warning

Note

The JCL generation process includes the optional PLUSLIST DD statement. If you do not want to use this statement, or if you want to include or change other statements, you can edit the generated JCL before you submit it, or you can edit the JCL skeleton (member PCPSJCL0 of the BMC.DBU.SLIB data set) to change the JCL that is generated for all users at your site.
