TYPRUN='SCAN' not Invoked

Postby jaggz » Fri Jul 13, 2012 9:26 am

Hi,

I am not able to see the Scanned Report for any JCL when I code with TYPRUN='SCAN'. Is it something the SCAN feature is missing in Z/OS ? If so, are there any equivalent features available ?

I do not understand what you mean by 'scanned report'. All TYPRUN=SCAN does is allow your JCL to be interpreted but not executed - just sent to the output queue. TYPRUN=HOLD sends it to the input queue, in hold status, after interpretation. What were you expecting? If you have no output on the output queue then you either have a JCL error in the jobcard or you have specified a MSGCLASS that prohibits the 'printing' of JCL or you have not submitted the job.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

I think you are thinking you are using a "JCL Checker" program: you are not.

If that is not what you are thinking, please explain more clearly and in more detail.

What DD statement do you look at in the spool? Are you at correct one?

Hello,

If a TYPRUN=SCAN is run, there should be no DD statements in the spool - only the JES sysouts.

And these need to be posted here. If there are no JES sysouts, he job was flushed - probably because of an invalid JOB statement.
Hope this helps,

If you execute a Job with TYPRUN=SCAN, you'll get the following DDName listed. As Dick say they are "JES" sysouts, I referred them as "DD-Names" as shown below:

   Display  Filter  View  Print  Options  Help                                 
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 SDSF JOB DATA SET DISPLAY - JOB JOBNAME(JOB28196)    LINE 1-2 (2)           
 COMMAND INPUT ===>                                            SCROLL ===> CSR 
 PREFIX=JOBNAME  DEST=LOCAL  OWNER=*  SYSNAME=                                 
 NP   DDNAME   StepName ProcStep DSID Owner    C Dest               Rec-Cnt Page
      JESMSGLG JES2                 2 Anuj  Y LOCAL                    8     
      JESJCL   JES2                 3 Anuj  Y LOCAL                   11     
one will have what you are looking for.

Recall something similar many moons ago and using MSGLEVEL=(1,1) on the jobcard resolved the issue

Yup, all points that covered in my original reply - not bad for 6 in the morning before feeding the pigs.

EDIT - on the other hand 10:00am after feeding the pigs I had to edit this reply!
