Setting default values (IMS compatible JCL)

You can use the IMS HP Image Copy Site Default Generation utility to set default values for the control statements that are applied when you run IMS HP Image Copy functions with IMS compatible JCL.

The Site Default Generation utility creates a user site default table that can be used when you run IMS HP Image Copy functions with IMS compatible JCL. All the control statement parameter values that are set in the user site default table are applied to IMS HP Image Copy jobs run with IMS compatible JCL.

The Site Default Generation utility analyzes the control statements and generates source code for the site default table.

To have the control statement parameters applied to IMS compatible JCL jobs, the library that contains the site default table module (FABJGLI0) must be concatenated to the STEPLIB DD of IMS compatible JCL. When IMS HP Image Copy finds FABJGLI0 in the STEPLIB concatenation, IMS HP Image Copy loads and uses the table. The control statement parameter values that are set in the table are applied to IMS HP Image Copy jobs at run time.

If you want to override the values that are set in the site default table, you can do so by specifying relevant values on the EXEC PARM statement or coding relevant control statements in the SYSIN data set of the IMS compatible JCL.
