I have a dataset with record length 40 in production, due to some requirements it was changed to 80. Then how can we know the jobs which are effected by this change and how can we resolve it.
JCL Example: // //RUNJCL JOB CLASS=5,MSGCLASS=6,NOTIFY=&SYSUID //STEP01 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 // .. .. If this JCL will run or it'll throw the ERROR?
suppose i have job it contains 10 steps after exicution of job failuer at 3 and 7 th steps i want exicute step 3 and step 7 only how we specify condition ?
IF WE GIVE COND on step3 then, What does the following mean ? And Just adding to that, All the below COND are VALID as per the specifications. (i) COND = (8,LT,step1,step2) ---(AND/OR ?) (ii) COND = (8,LT,step1,step2, ONLY), (iii) COND = (8,LT,step1,ONLY) will it execute only if this condition is true or only if step1 ABENDS ? (iv) COND = (8,LT,step1,step2,EVEN), (v) COND = (8,LT,step1,EVEN) ?
