Running CLISTs and REXX Execs in Batch Mode

Figure 1 gives the JCL needed to run the BLSCSCAN CLIST, which formats a problem screening report for a stand-alone dump. Note the following:

The batch job allocates the user dump directory, IPCSU1.DUMP.DIR, assuming that an existing dump directory data set is created and initialized.
IPCSPARM is needed only if you or your installation has its own IPCS exit routines or specifies other IPCS initialization parameters. If IPCSPARM is omitted, the IPCS parameters from SYS1.PARMLIB or the logical parmlib concatenation are dynamically allocated.
You can substitute %BLSCSCAN with another CLIST or REXX exec. However, ensure that the CLIST or REXX exec is identified through the SYSPROC DD statement.

//IPCSJOB  JOB 'acctinfo','IPCSU1 output',MSGLEVEL=(1,1),
//          MSGCLASS=A,CLASS=J,NOTIFY=IPCSU1
//* ------------------------------------------------------
//*
//*   Input: dump in data set 'IPCSU1.DUMP1.DUMP'
//*   Output:
//*     - IPCS dump directory data set for the input dump
//*        (IPCSDDIR DD)
//*     - Formatted output (SYSTSPRT DD)
//*     - TSO/E messages (SYSTSPRT DD)
//*     All of the output will have message identifiers
//*     printed (due to PROFILE MSGID command in SYSTSIN)
//* ------------------------------------------------------
//IPCS     EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,DYNAMNBR=20,REGION=1500K

Note: If you want to browse the IPCS output at a terminal after the batch job has completed, specify message and SYSOUT classes for held output rather than the MSGCLASS=A and SYSOUT=A on the statements in this example.
