New Tool for Scanning JCL Will Help South System Users Get Ready for Titan
A new WYLBUR Enter command, TITANPREP, is now available for you to scan your South system JCL to see which changes may be needed to run it on Titan. To use this new tool, log on to WYLBUR and type:
ENTER TITANPREP
You will be prompted for the name of the data set that contains your JCL. If you enter the name of a partitioned data set (PDS), TITANPREP will analyze each member.
For each data set (or member) being scanned, an output data set is created that contains an analysis of the JCL you submitted. The naming convention for these output data sets is AAAAIII.TITAN.PREP.DYYDDD.THHMMSS.
How to Read the Results
Each output dataset will consist of one, two or three parts.
| Part one | contains messages from scanning the JCL. |
| Part two | appears only if SAS code is scanned. It flags any SAS statement that dynamically allocates a dataset owned by another user. |
| Part three | lists the expanded JCL, with statement numbers. These numbers are referenced in the first part. |
The following example shows messages from part one of the output data set:
************ Analysis of Dataset iii.HHS.DISKMAP ************
The Job (iiiDISKM) runs under the Account: aaaa and Initials: iii.
*WARNING* Statement 4 is a /*TITLE statement which is not supported on Titan and will be ignored.
*ERROR* In statement 14 "PGM=DISKMAP" is not supported on Titan. Code "// EXEC DISKMAP" for DISKMAP on Titan.
*WARNING* In statement 19 / Step Name (STEP1) another user's dataset (bbbbjjj.ESC.PRODUCTN.LOAD) is referenced. RACF authorization is needed.
**********************************************************************
Each message is marked to indicate the message type:
*WARNING* —warning of a possible error You may need to make a change.
*ERROR* —a definite problem
The ENTER TITANPREP tool makes it easier for you to determine what is needed to make your JCL "Titan-ready," but it is not infallible. The final test of your JCL is to run it on Titan.
If you have questions on how to use ENTER TITANPREP, call TASC at (301) 594-6248. For more information about the Titan transition and changes you may encounter, check the Titan transition Web pages. For additional information about JCL and utilities on Titan, the Titan Batch Processing manual is available from the CIT publications Web page, under "OS/390 Systems."
