Batch programs

This appendix describes the JCL and parameters that the batch programs need, although you do not need this if you use the panels to generate and submit them.

For a description of how to create JCL skeletons for the batch jobs, refer to the section about EQQJOBS in HCL Workload Scheduler for Z: Planning and Installation.

Most batch programs are invoked by a program named EQQBATCH, and are specified by a parameter in the JCL EXEC statement. This program must be authorized and, like all other batch load modules in HCL Workload Automation for Z, must be located in an authorized library. These batch programs are not invoked with EQQBATCH: EQQYLTOP, EQQPURGE, and EQQEVPGM.

After running batch programs, the generated reports can optionally be sent to other users by email.
