Generic Versus Regular Decollating Missions

Standard report decollating missions can handle output from the spool or from CDAM datasets. They are executed once to handle the output produced by a specific job name (unless defined as cyclic report decollating missions, with a task type of CRP).

The generic decollating missions monitor specific JES classes (assigned in member CTDPARM in the IOA PARM library) for the appearance of Non-Held output. When an output appears, Control-D looks for a generic mission to process the output.

The table below compares the differences between standard and generic decollating missions:
