Obtaining access authorization

Many of the OCL instructions use the scheduler programming interface. You need authorization to use the programming interface requests. If you are not authorized to use the instruction you need, give the relevant access type and RACF® resource code to your administrator. Table 1 lists the OCL instructions that access the scheduler resources and the access authorization you need for each.

Note: Use the MODOP instruction as follows:

MODOP APPL(applname) IADATE(iadate) IATIME(iatime) OPNO(operationnumber)

One of the following parameters must be specified:

WSNAME, ASUB, AJR, TIMEDEP, CLATE, OPIA, and OPDL

Otherwise warning message EQQCL4VW “No parameter was specified? is issued.

OCL libraries can be protected by a security product, such as RACF, which allows only authorized users can run the OCL program. Because OCL instructions can be issued from within IBM Z Workload Scheduler-scheduled jobs, the product should be authorized to access the OCL libraries.

Use the TSOCMD parameter to avoid having to specify TSO commands or REXX instructions other than those provided by OCL.
