Is there a way to have a batch plan in a graphic or a diagram?

[Diego Bordon]

I would like to give to batch operators and developers a diagram or a graphic of our daily bactch plan.

Is there a way to do it?

Perhaps some report to be interpreted then by MS-VIsio, or any other tool.

Jobtrac  does not have a feature to show a diagram or graph of daily batch jobs.    There is a  sample IMOD  called SUCCLIST that

lists a chain of predecessors/successors.    You pass the name of the job as an argument and it will give you a report like a  tree.  Below is an

example of what the output looks like where it shows the level by indenting the jobnames.    

LEV#     JOB NAME                                                    TARGET-TIME    BUSGRP    PRED JOB

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0    FILWAIT1                                  ASAP 03/29     CPM11     START
1      FILWAIT2                                ASAP 03/29     CPM11     FILWAIT1
2        FILWAIT3                              ASAP 03/29     CPM11     FILWAIT2
3          FILWAIT4                            ASAP 03/29     CPM11     FILWAIT3
4            FILWAIT8                          ASAP 03/29     CPM11     FILWAIT4
5              FILWAIT9                        ASAP 03/29     CPM11     FILWAIT8
6                FILWAIT7                      ASAP 03/29     CPM11     FILWAIT9
3          FILWAIT5                            NOT ON SCHEDULE          FILWAIT3

There is also a forecast report that can be used to forecast schedules but this does not show the information in a fiagram or graph format either.  The sample job for this report is in SAMPJCL library in member name FORECAST.
