Submitting a batch job

You can submit one or more batch jobs from the z/OS® Explorer. You can submit the jobs from the Data Sets view or submit a job from the data set editor.

You can use the Data Sets view to submit one or more jobs without needing to open the files.

You can use the data set editor to open a file, make changes, and then submit the changed file from the editor. You can then choose whether to save the changes to the file.

To submit a job from the Data Sets view, use the following procedure:
1. Open the Data Sets view and navigate to the file or files that you want to submit. To submit multiple files, use Ctrl+click (cmd+click for OS X) to select the files. You can select members from different data sets and sequential files, and submit them all at the same time.
2. Right-click a selected file and click Submit.
The selected files are submitted.
To submit a job from the data set editor, use the following procedure:
1. Open the Data Sets view and navigate to the file that you want to change and submit.
2. Double-click the file, or right-click and click Open.
  The file opens in the data set editor.
3. Make any changes you want then right-click in the editor and click Submit. You can then save the file, or close it without saving.
The file is submitted.

A confirmation message, including the job number, is shown in the status bar. The job is shown in the Jobs view when that view is refreshed.
