VCKP
Checkpoints for PROFILE variables are taken automatically at EXEC termination if these variables were updated in the EXEC. With VCKP, you can write variables that were updated in the profile pool directly to the BBIVARS data set on disk at any point in time during EXEC execution.
This action is recommended if the EXEC does not terminate for extended periods of time. Perform this action when you need to guarantee the integrity of certain variables.
Condition codes are listed in the following table:
Value | Description |
|---|---|
0 | Command was executed successfully. |
20 | Invalid syntax was used. |
Example
This example saves the variables IMSSTART, IMSTIME, and IMSCHKPT in the profile pool. It forces writing these variables to the BBIVARS data set since the EXEC does not terminate immediately but branches to the label LAB01 (not shown).
"IMFEXEC VPUT (IMSSTAT IMSTIME IMSCHKPT) PROFILE"
"IMFEXEC VCKP"
CLIST example:
IMFEXEC VCKP
