Using the ECI via JCL

ECI calls via JCL are made though the WZZECIJ program.

The following figure shows an example of initiating a Task operation and defining a Task to be added to the Set.

Task Operation - Initiate and Task Operation - Specify Tasks JCL for WZZECIJ

//WZZECIJ JOB MSGCLASS=X,CLASS=A,NOTIFY=JohnDoe
//STEP1   EXEC PGM=WZZRCJOB,PARM='Default/WZZECIJ'
//STEPLIB DD DSN=ISPW.CONFIG.AUTHLOAD,DISP=SHR

$DEFINE_TSB
  APPLID=TST
  STRMNAME=TEST
  OP=X
  LVL=HLD1
$DEFINE_TSBT
  APPLID=TST
  MTYPE=COB
  MNAME=TESTCOB

The format of the input via JCL is the $DEFINE_datagroup followed by a line for each keyword and its corresponding value. Valid $DEFINE_datagroup values are specified alongside the descriptions of the functions on the following pages. Each $DEFINE_datagroup statement delimits any previous call. The indentation of the keywords is for clarity purposes only.

The valid keywords for each call are documented in the following descriptions of each function call. They can be specified in any order. Values that are text with embedded spaces must be enclosed by single quotes.
