R3: Control-M/Restart Job Data Set List utility

The Control-M/Restart Job Data Set List utility prepares the list of permanent data sets used in a job. The list is generated in the Control-M Statistics file.

The utility allows specification of one job at a time. It works by adding to the job a step that prevents execution of other steps in the job. The job is then submitted. The data sets required are listed in the Statistics file and the job is stopped before it can execute.

This utility is generally run as a preliminary step before generating the Data Set Cross Reference Report, which requires the list of data sets for the job. For more information, see the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.

Note: The AUTOXREF=Y Control-M/Restart parameter (see the Control-M/ for z/OS Installation Guide) can be used instead of the R3 utility. When this parameter is used, and if the Control-M/Restart Prevent NCT2 facility is invoked, the job-data sets cross reference statistical information is accumulated during regular execution of the job.

The Control-M/Restart Job Dataset List panel (below) can be displayed in the following ways:

• Select Option R3 in the IOA Online Utilities menu. The IOA Online Utilities menu is displayed by requesting Option 6 on the IOA Primary Option menu under ISPF, or by activating CLIST IOAUTIL from the TSO Command Processor.
• Activate CLIST CTMJDSN from the TSO Command Processor.

To exit the Control-M/Restart Job Dataset List panel without activating the utility, press END (PF03/PF15).
