Activating Utility CTMAESIM

1. Display the Online Utilities menu by selection Option 6 of the IOA PRIMARY OPTION MENU.

   Note: If Option 6 from the IOA Primary Option Menu does not bring you to the Utilities menu, ask your INCONTROL administrator to assist you in accessing the Utilities menu from TSO, or advise you how to access utility CTMAESIM directly.

   The IOA Online Utilities menu is displayed. The particular options displayed in the menu depend on the INCONTROL products available at your site, as well as any limitations your INCONTROL administrator may have placed on the display. The IOA Online Utilities menu, and available Control-M utilities, are described in detail in the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.

   Notice that in the comment line you added to the JCL, the user-defined AutoEdit variable is resolved to, or replaced by, the value provided by the SET VAR statement in the job scheduling definition:

   //* TAPE ID PROVIDED: 046453                 

   You can now see that if you run this job, the user-defined variable will resolve correctly.
