General Information for MEMNAME

The MEMNAME parameter identifies a member whose contents are determined by the task type of the job scheduling definition. For more information, see TASKTYPE: General Job Parameter.

• If TASKTYPE contains the value JOB, CYC, EMR or ECJ, the job scheduling definition is defined for a job and the MEMNAME parameter identifies the member that contains the JCL of the job.
• If TASKTYPE contains the value STC, CST, EST or ECS, the job scheduling definition is defined for a started task and the MEMNAME parameter identifies the member that contains the started task procedure.
• If TASKTYPE contains the value WRN, the job scheduling definition is defined for warning messages and the MEMNAME parameter identifies the member that contains the warning messages.

The member name may be the same as or different than the job name.

The member can contain the JCL of more than one job. By default, Control-M processes only the first job in the member. If, however, the MULTJOBS parameter in the CTMPARM member in the IOA PARM library is set to Y (Yes), Control-M submits all the jobs in the member, but still only monitors the execution and results of the first job in the member. Therefore, BMC recommends that each member contain the JCL of only one job.
