Preparations

In this chapter, you are going to create two new jobs and their job scheduling definitions. In the last chapter, you used the names IDJOB1 and IDJOB2. In this chapter, you will use the names IDJOB3 and IDJOB4, respectively. (You will use the same library and table that you used in the last chapter.)

For the JCL of IDJOB4, use a copy of the same trivial JCL that you used for IDJOB1 & IDJOB2—that is, a job that does basically nothing, but ends successfully.

For IDJOB3, you need a JCL that will result in an error condition. For this purpose, you will use a test utility in which you indicate the desired error return code.

You can now create the JCL for those jobs.

• Create trivial job IDJOB3 to run utility TESTUTIL and define it to return a condition code of C0008.
• Create trivial job IDJOB4 and define it to run IEFBR14.
