Step 6: Convert Member EPICOPTS to Rules

This step consists of the CONVERUL job that converts OPTION SELECT statements and OPTION statements in member EPICOPTS to Control-M/Tape rule definitions.

1. Edit this job as follows:
2. Specify the active EPICOPTS member in DD statement EPICOPTS in STEP01 of this job.
3. Specify the rule member name to contain the converted rules in parameter RULEMEM in step OPTS of this job.

To ensure that retention information in the JCL is applied in the same way as in CA-EPIC/MVS, verify that the setting for Control-M/Tape installation parameter OVERJCL is consistent with CA-EPIC/MVS parameter JCLOVRDE.

Run job CONVERUL.

All steps must end with a condition code of 0.

Do not change the rule definitions created in this step until after jobs CONVVTM and CONVTRTM in Steps 18 and 19 have been run. This helps ensure compatibility between the Control-M/Tape Media Database and CA-EPIC/MVS information in the DSN catalog and the VMS catalog.
