Generating, submitting, and tracking JCL, and viewing the output

When you want to compile your code, you must generate some JCL to run the compilation.

Procedure

To generate, submit, and track JCL, and view the output, do these steps:

  1. In the Remote Systems view or the z/OS Projects view, right-click the member name of the program you want to compile and click Generate JCL.
  2. Select For Compile.
    A window opens and prompts you to confirm where to write the generated JCL.
  3. Verify the member name and the data set this member is generated to and click OK.
    A message window opens when JCL generation is complete. This message window includes Submit and Open buttons that you can use to submit the generated JCL or open the JCL in an editor session.
  4. To submit the JCL, click Submit.
    A job submission confirmation window opens. To locate the job ID in the Remote Systems view, click Locate Job. The job ID is highlighted in the Retrieved Jobs filter of the JES subsystem.
  5. To open the generated JCL in an editor session, click Open.
