Batch processing

When batch processing is specified and you have completed all appropriate field entries, press <Enter> and Data Solutions displays the JCL Specification Screen, as shown in the following figure.

JCL Specification Screen

File-AID/Data Solutions ------ COPY - JCL Specification ----------------------
COMMAND ===>

JCL Information for Batch Processing:

  SYSOUT class    ===> *

JOB Statement Information:
  ===> //USERID0 JOB (’ODAQC2.0.0’,81),’DATA’,
  ===> //   CLASS=P,NOTIFY=USERID0,MSGCLASS=R
  ===>
  ===>

Use JCL command to edit generated JCL
Use SUBMIT command to submit batch job
Use END to return to main COPY panel without submitting job

Make sure you set your JOB CLASS according to the estimated job processing size or time.

On the JCL Specification screen you can enter the following commands:

Command	Description
JCL	File-AID/Data Solutions generates the JCL to process the job and displays it on an edit screen, as shown in the below figure.
SUBMIT	Submits the batch job.
CANCEL	Terminates the function.
END	Terminates the function.

Important

Member SELECT in the DD01SC DD statement stores the change criteria. When processing in batch (B) and Save aging criteria is set to Y (Yes), Data Solutions saves the criteria into the specified data set, uses the data set to process your change criteria, and does not delete the criteria data set (DISP=SHR). When processing in batch (B) and Save aging criteria is set to N (No), Data Solutions processes your aging criteria from a temporary data set and deletes the criteria (DISP=(OLD,DELETE)). If you want the ability to re-run the job, change the DISP to OLD,KEEP before submitting the job.

The generated JCL can be edited, submitted with the SUBMIT primary command, and saved by using the CREATE or REPLACE primary commands. Saving your generated Copy function JCL allows you to postpone execution or rerun the same job at another time.

We recommend specifying a region of 8M or greater to avoid any memory/shortage problems. The region size required is affected by the DCB parameter BUFNO coded on DD statements. The BUFNO= parameter coded explicitly on a DD statement will override the Data Solutions default of 6 or the installation defined default set at configuration time (batch option BATCH_BUFFER_SPACE, see BATCH_BUFFER_SPACE in the File-AID/Data Solutions product configuration). The greater the number specified the higher region size is required at execution time.

Important

When you select batch processing for the Data Generator function with a new or empty data set, Data Solutions creates a $$DD01 GENERATE function statement.
