JCLLIB JCL Keyword — PROCLIB

Background

This replaces the /*JOBPARM PROCLIB JECL statement.

With BMC ThruPut Manager

BMC ThruPut Manager adds the $PROCedure descriptor in JAL, which works in much the same way as the $PROGRAM descriptor does. It allows installations to examine the use of their PROCedures and where they came from.

Three new JAL list descriptors are added:

• $LIST_PROC_NAME – The procedure name
• $LIST_PROC_TYPE – The procedure TYPE
• $LIST_PROC_LIBRARY – The procedure data set name

These descriptors can be can be inserted in messages also they can be used when processing the BMC ThruPut Manager analysis performance SMF record, creating reports on the various PROCedures and Libraries being used.

Also three new DAL descriptors are added to describe the current step’s procedure, type and library:

• $JCL_PROC_NAME – The procedure name
• $JCL_PROC_TYPE – The procedure TYPE
• $JCL_PROC_LIBRARY – The procedure data set name
