Preparations

For this chapter, you will create a new job and its job scheduling definitions. You will use the name IDJOB5, and the same library and table that you used in the preceding chapter.

To create the JCL for IDJOB5, begin with a copy of the TESTUTIL JCL, such as the JCL you used for IDJOB3. Recall that for job IDJOB3 this JCL had one step, which you defined to end with a condition code of C0008. For IDJOB5, you should make the following changes:

1. Change the step so that it ends with a condition code of C0000 (so the step ends OK).
2. Copy the changed step and its accompanying DD statements four times, so that you have five steps in the job. Name those steps S1, S2, S3, S4, and S5, respectively.
3. Change the third step (S3) so that it ends with a condition code of C0008.

Your job should now have five steps, four of which end okay, but one, the third, which ends with a condition code of C0008.

You can now continue with the first part of these exercises; the creation of the job scheduling definition.
