Jobs DSNTEJ4C and DSNTEJ4P

Job DSNTEJ4C is for COBOL; DSNTEJ4P is for PL/I. Both jobs complete the same functions.

Jobs DSNTEJ4C and DSNTEJ4P complete the following tasks:

  • Precompile, compile, and link-edit the IMS online applications.
  • Bind the IMS online applications.
  • Create the message format service (MFS) panels for the online applications.
  • Run the required PSBGEN and ACBGEN.

Select the proper job and define the applications and transactions to IMS. Member DSN8FIMS in prefix.SDSNSAMP contains information to assist in the definition step.

The verification transactions are single mode, single segment, and nonconversational.

Recommendation: Use SSM error option R because the program handles any errors. A resource translation table is not required.

Invoke the transaction by using the FORMAT command. The programs accept several lines of input on the first panel and display the results after you press ENTER.

If DSNTEJ4C runs successfully, it produces the return codes that are shown in the following table.

Note:
  1. The PLKED step does not exist in the job if the value of the COBOL LE PRELINKER PHASE field is set to NO.
For DSNTEJ4C, the warning code that is expected from the precompiler step PH04CS01 is:

If DSNTEJ4P runs successfully, it produces the return codes that are shown in the following table.

If either job DSNTEJ4C or job DSNTEJ4P fails or abends, rerun the jobs from the last successful step.
