JCL job card and data set

Use the JCL Job Card and Data Set page of the property group editor to define the default job card for generated JCL, identify the partitioned data set to contain generated JCL, and specify a search order for JCL include groups and procedures.

Purpose

The options that you specify on this window are used by JCL generation and JCL Editor operations.

Note: For fields that take partitioned data sets as their value, you can drag a partitioned data set name from the Remote Systems view, z/OS Projects view, or Remote z/OS Search results view and drop it in the field. To change the order of partitioned data set names in a field, place the cursor in the field and click Change Order from the menu.

Fields

JCL job card: Displays the default JCL job card.

Data set for generated JCL: Specify the name of the data set to contain generated JCL. You can drag a partitioned data set name from the Remote Systems view, z/OS Projects view, or Remote z/OS Search results view and drop it in the field. Click Check Data Set to check that the data set specified in this field exists on the remote system.

Include and procedure search libraries: Specify a search order for JCL include groups and procedures. In an edit session, you can use the Open JCL Procedure action to open JCL procedures. The editors search the libraries that are specified in this field when this action is requested. Separate multiple entries with a space.
