Creating JOB statements

The SMP/E jobs do not include JOB statements. Although JOB statements are often built automatically, creating your own JOB statements that are correct for your site is usually easier than editing the provided JOB statements.

To create JOB statements:

1. If you are using ISPF to edit and submit the SMP/E jobs, edit a member that contains the JOB statement. Delete all text except the JOB statement. Then use the ISPF COPY command to copy the member into each job before submitting it.
2. If you are using TSO to submit the SMP/E jobs, edit a JOB statement and submit that JOB statement with each job.
   For example, data set JCL.CNTL(J) might contain the following code:

    //DB2INST   JOB ACCT,NAME,
    //          MSGCLASS=A,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),
    //          TIME=(10),USER=SYSADM,PASSWORD=xxxxxxxx
    /*JOBPARM   ....
    /*ROUTE     PRINT ....

   When you are ready to submit a job, use a command like the following command:

   SUBMIT (JCL(J) JCL(DSNxxxxx))

   In this command, xxxxx represents the last five characters of the SMP/E job name. This command submits the JOB statement along with the job.
