PM54998: MULTIPLE JOB SUPPORT AND NEW VARIABLES FOR JOB TEMPLATES

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• If specified in the job template, a new job card will be
  inserted every 255 steps. This eliminates the restriction that
  255 steps is the maximum that can be created without users
  manually inserting job cards.  &&JOBCARD should be the first
  variable in the template. It comes after the first N cards that
  comprise the job card and any JES control cards that should be
  inserted every 255 steps.
  *
  In addition, new variables for database, tablespace and
  indexspace will allow job templates to create DB2 utility jobs.
  DB2 object list variables will also be available to create
  tailored jobs. For example, a rebuild for all indexes or
  runstats for all tablespaces.
