Input control statements


Fast Path/EP Series products use two DD statements (PFPOPTS and PFPSYSIN) for input control statements. In offline mode, an operator interface is available for diagnostic command input.

Sample Fast Path/EP general JCL

//PFP      EXEC PGM=PFPMAIN,REGION=0M
//STEPLIB  DD DSN=BMC.PFP.LOAD,DISP=SHR
//         DD DSN=IMSVS.RESLIB,DISP=SHR
//PFPOPTS  DD *
  OPTIONS
    REPOSITORY_DSNAME='repository.dsname',
    LINE_COUNT=110
/*
//PFPSYSIN  DD *
  GLOBAL DBRC=YES END
  REORGANIZE DBD=dbdnam1,IAREA=areaname
    LOADCTL
      SEGMENT=segname,
      INSERT_LIMIT_COUNT=1000,
      LOCATION=IOVF
  ANALYZE DBD=dbdnam2
    REPORT
      REPORT_HEADING='MY REPORT'

The standard set of input control statements have the following requirements:

  • You can enter commands anywhere in positions 1 through 72 of the input statement (positions 73 through 80 are ignored).
  • There are no continuation characters.
  • They must contain 80-character fixed length records.
  • A command can have keywords and subcommands, separated where necessary with separator characters.
  • An asterisk (*) in column 1 indicates a comment.

 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
