Setting up the EQQJOBS installation aid
EQQJOBS reads skeleton JCL from the SEQQSAMP
or SEQQSKL0 libraries, tailors the JCL, and then writes the tailored
JCL to an output library that you specify. The output library must
be a partitioned data set with record length 80 and record format
FB, and must be allocated before you run EQQJOBS. The components of
EQQJOBS reside in these libraries:
- SEQQCLIB
- CLIST to drive the dialog
- SEQQPNL0
- EQQJOBS panels
- SEQQSAMP
- Sample JCL
- SEQQSKL0
- HCL Workload Automation for Z batch-job skeletons.
To be able to run EQQJOBS, you can either:
- Allocate the following libraries to the DD statements in your TSO session:
- SEQQCLIB to SYSPROC
- SEQQPNL0 to ISPPLIB
- SEQQSKL0 and SEQQSAMP to ISPSLIB.
To invoke EQQJOBS, enter the TSO command
EQQJOBS
from an ISPF environment. - From the SEQQCLIB library, invoke the EQQ#JOBS CLIST (where the symbol # depends from the
code page you are using, this is related to code page 1047) by issuing the
EXEC
command.In this way, the required libraries are automatically allocated, and EQQJOBS is automatically invoked.
The following panel is displayed:
The following sections describe:
- Option 1, Creating the sample job JCL
- Option 2, Generating batch-job skeletons
- Option 3, Generating Data Store samples
- Option 4, Creating the Workload Automation Programming Language samples
Note:
- To ensure that all files are correctly allocated, perform first option 2 then option 1.
- If you need to run EQQJOBS again, ensure that you saved your customized batch-job skeletons because they will be generated again and overwritten.
