General Information for INSTREAM JCL

Prior to version 6.2.00 of Control-M for z/OS, user-defined JCL that was to be run in the course of the execution of a job had to be defined in a JCL library.

The INSTREAM JCL parameter enables you to include JCL that is to be run in the course of the execution of a job within the definition of the job itself.

When the job is ordered or forced, any JCL defined using the INSTREAM JCL parameter resides in the Active Jobs file. The content of the JCL statements can then be modified by means of the Zoom and Save commands.

JCL that has been defined using the INSTREAM JCL parameter is processed by submit-related user exits, such as CTMX002, in the same way as JCL retrieved through the MEMLIB and MEMNAME parameters.
