When variables are substituted
Specifying the SETUP option shows how to specify the SETUP option in the panel shown in EQQJVVMP - Modifying a JCL variable.
| SETUP | HCL Workload Automation for Z substitutes the variable … |
|---|---|
| Y | Automatically at job setup, or at submission if there is no setup operation. |
| N | Automatically at job submission. The variable is stored with the job in the JCL repository (JS) data set, and is then substituted automatically before the job is routed to the required destination. |
| P | After substituting
any SETUP=Y variables
and prompting the operator. HCL Workload Automation for Z first
substitutes SETUP=Y variables.
Then it scans the job for promptable variables and displays them.
The operator enters values for each variable. If there is no setup
phase, the job fails with error code OJCV. |
The operator initiates setup by setting the operation to next logical status using the workstation READY LIST panel. Variables can also be substituted by a user-supplied exit rather than by HCL Workload Automation for Z.
