DD statements for the Site Default Generation utility (IMS compatible JCL)

The Site Default Generation utility requires DD statements to identify the source of input and the placement of output information.

The following table lists the DD statements that you can specify in the FABJTGEN JCL.

Table 1. DD statements for the Site Default Generation utility for IMS compatible JCL
DDNAME Use Format Required or optional
STEPLIB Input PDS Optional
ICEIN Input LRECL=80 Required
SYSPUNCH Output LRECL=80 Required
SYSPRINT Output LRECL=133 Required
SYSABEND or SYSUDUMP Output LRECL=133 Optional
STEPLIB DD
Points to the load module library data set that contains the IMS HP Image Copy load modules.
ICEIN DD
Required. Specifies the input control statement data set. The data set can reside on a tape or a direct-access volume, or it can be routed through the input stream (DD * or DD DATA).
SYSPUNCH DD
Required. Specifies the output data set. The data set contains assembler source code generated by the FABJTGEN program. The following DCB parameters must be specified:
  • RECFM=F or FB
  • LRECL=80
  • BLKSIZE=80 or multiple of 80
SYSPRINT DD
Required. Defines the output message data set. The data set can reside on a tape, a direct-access volume, or a printer; or it can be routed through the output stream (SYSOUT). SYSPRINT can be blocked but must be a multiple of 133.
SYSABEND DD
SYSUDUMP DD
Defines the dump data set. These DD statements are optional. If both statements are present, the last occurrence is used for the dump.
