1.How to check for the errors using TYPRUN=SCAN?What will
be the output if we give TYPRUN=SCAN?

Answer Posted / cj

Necron answered it right. TYPRUN=SCAN does the following:
1. Checks for syntax errors in the JCL
2. If errors present, the job listing gives the line number
and a short description of the error (so you can fix them
before submission).
3. If errors are not present, the job listing does
mention "No syntax errors".

In both cases 2 and 3, the point that should be remembered
is "The job is not run or initiated by the Operating
System". TYPRUN=SCAN only tells you if syntax errors are
present in the JCL or not. It does not invoke the job. Once
there are no syntax errors, remove TYPRUN=SCAN (or comment
it) and then submit the JCL for actual execution.
