Schedule any JCL program at a specific time

[apru]

Thanks a lot blackhorn....I wil try to implement this using automatic recovery statements in my job...for using automatic recovery statements ,we have to activate using option 9 from main menu and insert OPC recover statement between JOB and EXEC statements ..dats it r8??..sorry for troubling u again...

[NicC]

What is

dats it r8??

mean?

[apru]

I wanted to clarify if the procedure is right???

I want to copy the error information from spool to dataset when a job scheduled using OPC ends in error.i just wanted to know if the below automatic recovery statement will serve my purpose..

//*%OPC RECOVER RESTART=N,ADDAPPL=SPL

where SPL is an application which has an operation to copy the error information from spool to dataset.Should I add any selection parameters (errstep/jobcode/stepcode) to the above staement.I want automatic recovery for any error in the job.

Why are you asking here and not your scheduling group who should have been trained in all this and can quickly give you the answer while you stand at their desks? Or over the phone?

[enrico-sorichetti]

most probably the TS is the scheduling group

for using automatic recovery statements ,we have to activate using option 9 from main menu

That's only required if you don't have the RECOVERY(YES) parameter specified on the OPCOPTS statement. Otherwise there is no need to activate it using option 9.

I want to copy the error information from spool to dataset when a job scheduled using OPC ends in error.

I inserted the below automatic recovery statement between JOB and EXEC in 2 scenatios.

1.A Program gives JCL error(duplicate dataset)

//*%OPC RECOVER RESTART=N,ADDAPPL=SPL

where SPL is an application which has an operation to copy the error information from spool to dataset.

2.A Program ends with Maxcc=16(sort utility->different ddname instead of sortout)

//*%OPC RECOVER STEPCODE=16,RESTART=N,ADDAPPL=SPL..


But in both the cases,I am getting the error "no automatic recovery because recover statement does not match this error"..
Please can you help me? [edited - shouting removed]

Check what setting you have specified on the AROPTS initialisation parameter, in particular EXCLUDECC and EXCLUDERC.

By default, JCL errors are excluded from automatic recovery.

[apru]

The parameters of the AROPTS parameter are as follows:

AROPTS AUTHUSER(JCLUSER)
ENDTIME(2359)
EXCLUDECC(NOAR)
EXCLUDERC(6)
PREDWS(*)
STARTTIME(0000)
USERREQ(NO)
