Submitting JCL to build a project or subproject

You can create a load module by submitting JCL.

Procedure

  1. Right-click a partitioned data set member and click Generate JCL.
  2. Click the phrase that specifies the type of JCL to create:
    Option Description
    For Compile Generates JCL for compiling the selected member.
    For Compile Link Generates JCL for compiling and linking the selected member.
    For Compile Link Go Generates JCL for creating and running a load module.
    If you selected For Compile Link or For Compile Link Go, the Load Module Member Name window opens.
    • If Generate JCL > For Compile Link or For Compile Link Go was not performed on the resource, and Rebuild Subproject was not performed on the subproject, the initial value in the load module name window is the name of the resource.
    • If Generate JCL > For Compile Link or For Compile Link Go was not performed, and you specify a load module name when you request Rebuild Subproject, the initial value in the load module name window is the load module name that is specified with Rebuild Subproject.
  3. To change the load module member name, type a new name in the Member name field and click OK.
    After the load module name is specified for a resource, it is remembered. You can disable this window by using the z/OS Solutions preference page.
    The JCL Data Set and Member Name window opens.
  4. You can overwrite both the name of the JCL data set (as specified in the project properties) and the name of the JCL member (as specified by Developer for z/OS®); in any case, click OK.
    If the specified JCL file exists, a confirmation message is displayed to prevent you from unintentionally overwriting an existing JCL member.
  5. To create the JCL, click OK.
    A confirmation message is displayed to indicate that the JCL was created in the specified data set.
  6. From the JCL Generation Complete window, do any of the following actions:
    • Click Submit to submit the JCL.
    • Click Open to open the JCL member in an editor.
    • Click OK to close the window without submitting the JCL.
