We have a few jobs that are listed as R-jcl-error in CA-7 itself, BUT, we run the jobs with TYPRUN=SCAN and it shows up in SAR (our output facility) as passing all JCL requirements, YET, it will not run in CA-7. If we manually run the SAME EXACT job outside of CA-7 it runs fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Select all

//NSPPA03R JOB (NSPP,2124),'AUDIT',CLASS=F,MSGCLASS=T,REGION=2048K,
//   TYPRUN=SCAN                                                   
//*  RESTART=JS010.PS010                                           
//OUT0 OUTPUT DEST=R0                                             
//OUT15 OUTPUT DEST=R15                                           
//*                                                               
//JOBLIB DD DSN=RICE.BAT.LOADLIB,DISP=SHR                         
//           DD DSN=RICP.BAT.LOADLIB,DISP=SHR
//*                   
//JS010  EXEC NSPPA03R,
//     PROD=PROD92,   
//     GEN=0           
//*                       

Thanks alot

Hello and welcome to the forum,

You need to post the actual jcl error along with any message id that is presented.

Have you talked with the scheduling people to make sure the problem jobs do not violate some internal standard that is IBM legal, but not for your environment?

That is the Problem, There is NO JCL ERROR to view. The output which goes to SAR shows a CLEAN SCAN, no JCL errors, but CA-7 THINKS there is one, which is unviewable......

Hello,

If CA-7 thinks there is an error, CA-7 should also show the error.

To repeat:

Have you talked with the scheduling people to make sure the problem jobs do not violate some internal standard that is IBM legal, but not for your environment?

If you are not one of the scheduling people, suggest you talk with them.

If you are one of the scheduling people and cannot find the error within CA-7, suggest you oppen an issue with CA support.

How exactly would you find the Error in CA-7? Is there a command to view a job's output internally? I'm not familiar with anything like that.

Thanks

Hello,

Unfortunately, i don't "do" ca-7, but every ca product i've ever worked with (many) presents errors when something "wrong" is detected.

You need to talk with your scheduling people or CA support.

Hi Galloblue11,

I have faced such type of errors in past... In my case , the length of job card (in first line) is more than 60/64 chars...

Which is acceptable when you do scan and when you submit job manually...

However, when you try to run same job thru CA7 then it gives error.. I don't remember the exact limitation ...but suggest you to move some job card parms to the second line..

Hope it works for you...

Regards...

Hi,

Make sure typrun=scan is removed from the CA-7 JCL..

hope this helps
