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:

Note:
  1. To ensure that all files are correctly allocated, perform first option 2, followed by option 1.
  2. If you need to run EQQJOBS again, ensure that you saved your customized batch-job skeletons because they will be generated again and overwritten.
