FABADA8 JCL

The FABADA8 program, in conjunction with FABADA9, is used to update the SDEP History file using the data records journaled by FABADA7, and to generate SDEP Space Utilization reports for all or specified areas of any database.

This program re-formats the SDEP space utilization data records, and resets the end-of-file marker on the journal data set.

There is no control statement needed for running FABADA8.

FABADA8 is run as a standard z/OS® job step. An EXEC statement and DD statements that define inputs and outputs are required. The following table summarizes the DD statements.

Table 1. FABADA8 DD statements
DDNAME Use Format Required or optional
DADARI Input/Output DISP=OLD Required
SYSPRINT Output LRECL=133 Required
DADARO Output LRECL=80 Required
EXEC
This statement must be in the form:
//     EXEC PGM=FABADA8,REGION=512K
DADARI DD
This statement defines the input and output data set that contains the SDEP space utilization data records. This DD statement should always specify DISP=OLD. This is the SCANCOPY data set from FABADA7.
SYSPRINT DD
This statement defines the output message data set. The data set can reside on tape, direct-access device or printer, or be routed through the output stream. You should code your DD statement as follows:
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A
DADARO DD
This statement defines the output data set that contains the reformatted SDEP space utilization data records. Block size must be a multiple of 80. Do not specify DISP=MOD for this DD statement.
