Started task control job processing
The started task control (STC) job processing method provides features of both the custom and standard procedure methods.
The started task control (STC) job processing method provides features of both the custom and standard procedure methods. For STC job processing, procedures are written to a user PROCLIB.
Like the standard procedure method, a single member must be inserted into a system procedure library during installation. This single member is then used to start all subordinate address spaces by using the JCL that is stored in the procedure library.
As a result, this method provides the JCL flexibility that is associated with custom procedures, but has the lesser authority requirements that are associated with standard procedures.
The user ID that
is associated with the job requires the following
authorizations:
- READ authority for reading the member in the PROCLIB or JOBLIB data set
- CONTROL access to the RECON data sets
- READ access to log data sets
- ALTER access to change accumulation data sets
