Started-task-submit data set (EQQSTC)

Started-task-submit data set (EQQSTC)

The started-task-submit data set is used by HCL Workload Automation for Z to temporarily store JCL when a started task is to be started. Use these attributes for this data set:

EQQSTC attributes
SPACE=(TRK,(5,0,1)),
DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=3120)

Include an EQQSTC in the JES PROCLIB concatenation on each system where HCL Workload Automation for Z schedules started-task operations. The data set is used as a temporary staging area for the started-task JCL procedure. When the start command has been issued for the task and control for the task has passed to JES, HCL Workload Automation for Z deletes the JCL by resetting the PDS. This means that you never need to compress the data set. For more information, see Implementing support for started-task operations.

Note: HCL Workload Automation for Z does not support partitioned data set extended (PDSE) libraries for a started-task-submit data set.
