Overview

The CTJXVER edit macro can be used to verify JCL jobs before they are submitted. The CTJXVER edit macro can be invoked from the ISPF editor or from any other compatible editor. In an Edit or View session of the job member, enter the CTJXVER macro on the command line or use it as a line command.

Note: BMC ships the edit macro as CTJXVER, but the macro can be copied to the SYSPROC library as JVER, making it easier to run. For details, refer to the INCONTROL for z/OS Installation Guide: Installing, Step 6.3 - Edit Macro Customization.

The CTJXVER edit macro works with the member in memory, so any change while editing the member will be verified even if the member is not saved.

After processing, the CTJXVER edit macro displays the results in the job member. The displayed results is a simulation of the error messages that would be displayed if the job actually ran. The display is divided into the following two sections:

The header section includes a summary of the number and types of messages.

The main body section contains the job member with the messages appearing immediately after the lines in the job where they are relevant.
