IBM JCL Syntax Check for Endevor Processors

  • 1.  IBM JCL Syntax Check for Endevor Processors

    Posted Apr 29, 2013 01:10 PM
    Reference: CA Support Request 20918106 01 - SYNCSORT PROBLEM. Without any warning, most of the Endevor Processors began failing when SyncSort was upgraded at our shop. Unbeknownst to the Endevor Admin, Processor Steps executing IEBGENER
    were/are invoking SyncSort's IEBGENER and not IBM's IEBGENER. If the Processor Generate provided at least a warning of issues with JCL syntax used that does not conform to IBM's JCL Rules, it would be helpful. That way, the Endevor Admin could decide whether or not to follow IBM standards to prevent potential problems from occurring.

    Enhance the Processor Generate to add a JCL Syntax Check. Provide warning messages when Processor JCL does not conform to IBM JCL standards.
