BDTXJCT

BDTXJCT provides for the controlled access to the job’s job control table (JCT). The macro can be used to add a new job and its JCT, modify the JCT, read the JCT, delete a JCT from the system queue, or purge a job and its JCT from the system.

Parameter	Subparameter	Explanation
&label		An optional name to be associated with the first instruction generated by this macro.
&TYPE=		Specifies the type of access requested by this macro call. The JCT may be any one of the following:
	ADD	Add a new job and its corresponding JCT to the system queue.
	RW	Obtain read/write access to a JCT to modify or update it.
	RO	Obtain read-only access to a JCT.
	DEL	Delete a JCT from the system queue.
	REL	Relinquish read-only or read/write access to a JCT previously obtained using the TYPE=RO or TYPE=RW specifications, respectively.
	PURGE	Purge a job from the system.
&JOB=		Specifies the JCT to be added if TYPE=ADD is specified or accessed. For all other TYPE= specifications the JCT may be any of the following: The job number. The address of an area containing the job number (1-4 EBCDIC digits terminated by one or more blanks). The address of an area containing the job name (1-8 characters terminated by one or more blanks). The address of the job queue element (JQE). If register notation is used, the specified register must contain an appropriate address or job number. If register 1 is specified, register loading is suppressed.
&ERROR=		Specifies the return point that receives control if an error is detected while performing the required function. If register notation is used, the register must contain the address of the appropriate exit routine.
&BUSY=		Specifies the address of a return point if the access to a requested priority level is not immediately available. If register notation is used, the register must contain the address of the appropriate exit routine. The use of this keyword is optional; if it is not specified and access to the specified priority level cannot be granted immediately, the requestor is put into a wait state (by AWAIT) until access can be granted.
&NORMAL=		Specifies the return point that receives control if the called routine returns to the calling routine specifying that normal processing has occurred. A branch to the specified address is automatically taken following linkage to the called routine.
&DEQ=	ONE ALL	Specifies the priority level (DEQ=ONE) or levels (DEQ=ALL) to be dequeued that were previously enqueued by use of the PRTY= keyword.
