Runtime options for IMS command batch jobs
You can use IMS command global options to define certain processing characteristics for all jobs.
You can override most processing options by defining the IMS command job options.
The global options can be overridden by the IMS command job options or by specifying ATYOPTS ddname input statements.
Any options that are specified in ATYOPTS will override any previously specified processing options.
ddname input and output specification
At run time when searching for ddname values, IMS Administration Tool uses the following sequence
to look up specific batch job ddnames to use for input and output:
- ATYOPTS ddname input statement:You can use the ATYOPTS ddname input statements to specify ddnames by using these parameters:
- DDNINP
- DDNOUT
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=ATYCMD00 //LEM DD ...... //LIME DD SYSOUT=* //ATYOPTS DD * DDNINP=LEM DDNOUT=LIME
- IMS command global options:
You can use the global options to specify the ddnames to use for batch job input and output data.
To use a single set of ddnames, specify the name of the input and output ddname in the global options.
- ddname table (ATYDDTBL):
You can create a ddname table to hold the multiple ddname listings.
Sample JCL is located in the SATYSAMP member ATYDDTBL.
