Enforcement (ENF) overview

The enforcement rules can be activated to enforce values for labels, positional parameters, and keywords in the JCL statements. The enforcement process can be performed on procedures. The rules can remotely change JCL values in other systems.

The rules do not enforce values in JCL records that are

• added by Control-M
• part of in-stream data
• added by procedures and includes
• before the JOB record

The enforcement is performed after

• Control-M resolution for JCL (AutoEdit variables are not resolved)
• validation of JCL syntax

The enforcement rules have a selection criteria through which the users can choose on which member, job name, and library the rule will be invoked.

The enforcement rules are saved in the rule library, OLPREFJ.ENFRULES. The list for the enforcement rules, CTJRENF, is located in the OLPREFJ.PARM library.

Rule sample is provided for the INIT statement.
