Scheduling Based on CDAM Dataset Creation

You can combine the creation of a CDAM dataset with the scheduling of a report decollating mission definition to the Active Missions file to process the output created in the CDAM dataset. You do this by using the sample Control-D Exit CTDX018.

The exit is invoked by the CDAM subsystem during output processing whenever the CDAM control parameter EXIT is set to YES in the DD statement SUBSYS parameters. For example:

//DDNAME DD SUBSYS=(CDAM,'EXIT=YES')

There is a sample exit (CTDX018O) in the IOA SAMPEXIT library that details how this is achieved.

Some examples of when this option can be used are

• for ad hoc jobs
• for user controlled jobs
• if a site does not want to define scheduling information for report decollating missions
