Step 2.2 – Jobcard parameters

Select minor step 2 in the Minor Steps Selection screen and insert values for the IOA jobcard parameters, as shown in the following table:

Table 10 IOA Jobcard parameters

Parameter

Description

JOBNAME

Job name, from 1 through 8 characters, to be used for jobs submitted during the IOA installation process. The jobname cannot be the same as the TSO userid. Note: This is the full Jobname, and not a prefix.

  • Mandatory

JOBPOS

Fixed position of the JOB keyword in the JOB card statement, to be used for all jobs submitted during the IOA installation.

  • Mandatory
  • Numeric value
  • Minimum value: 7
  • Default value: 12

Set a value that ensures that the three elements in the job statement (controlled by JOBNAME, JOBPOS, and JOBCAR) do not overlap. Use the following guidelines:

  • Between JOBNAME and the JOB key, add the following number of blank spaces, depending on the length of JOBNAME:

    • JOBNAME of up to 6 characters – add 3 blank spaces.

    • JOBNAME of 7 characters – add 2 blank spaces.

    • JOBNAME of 8 characters – add 1 blank space.

  • Between the JOB key and JOBCARD, add at least one blank space.

JOBCARD

Job statement data to be used for all jobs submitted during the IOA installation.

  • Mandatory
  • Maximum length: 43 characters

Example

JOBNAME=IOAINS01
JOBPOS=15
JOBCARD=,IOAINST,CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X

Resulting job statement:
//IOAINS01    JOB ,IOAINST,CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X

JCL1

First additional JCL. Can be used as a continuation of the job statement.

If this parameter is used as a continuation, the job statement parameter must end with a comma.

  • Mandatory
  • Maximum length: 60 characters
  • Default: //*.

Note: The JCL1 and JCL2 parameters affect the installation jobs. These parameters can be used, for example, for a multiline job statement. Do not use JCL1 or JCL2 for a JCLLIB statement, because all installation jobs already contain JCLLIB.

JCL2

Second additional JCL. Used for any general purpose. Compare with JCL1, in this table.

  • Mandatory
  • Maximum length: 60 characters
  • Default: //*.
