DB2 graphic QMF Version 8

Run programs options

Select option 4 from the Program Generator to display the Run Programs panel. You can also invoke this panel by issuing the following TSO command:

CALL 'QMFHPO.SRAALOAD(RAAMAIN)' 'CO 4'

On this panel, specify basic information about the program to run. This information is used to run an online program or generate JCL to run a batch program.

2. Program Name....... ===>
3. Plan Name.......... ===>
4. Environment........ ===>    (B=Batch, T=TSO)
5. COBOL Dialect...... ===>    (1=OS/VS, 2=VS-II, 370, or MVS)
6. Attachment Facility ===>    (T=TSO, C=CAF, R=RRSAF)

If you press Enter, all input fields will be validated. If errors are detected during input validation, the panel will be redisplayed with an error message. Otherwise, if a TSO program was specified, it will be run. If a batch program was specified, the Batch Job Information panel will be displayed, after which the JCL to run the program will be edited or submitted.

Depending on how this panel was reached, two things can happen after the run. If this panel was displayed by selecting the Run Programs option from the Program Generator Menu, it will be redisplayed after the run. If this panel was displayed due to a request to run a program after generation (on the Generation Options panel), the next panel in the generation process will be displayed.

If you press PF3, all input fields will be ignored and you will return to the Program Generator Menu or you will proceed with the generation process. No run will take place.

If you type ABORT and press Enter, all input fields will be ignored and you will return to the Program Generator Menu or the Report List panel. No run will take place.

The fields on the panel are:

Load Library
Enter the name of the data set containing the load module to run. The data set must exist and must be a PDS. If the name is enclosed in single quotes, it is taken to be a fully qualified TSO data set name. Otherwise, your current TSO profile prefix is used to qualify the name. This parameter is optional. If you specify a load library and not a program name, a member list for the library will be displayed from which you can select a program.
Program Name
Enter the program to run. If you specified a load library, you can leave this field blank, and a member list for the library will be displayed from which you can select a program. If you specify both a load library and a program name, the program must exist in the library.
Plan Name
Enter the name of the plan to run with this program. This field is optional. If you leave this field blank, the plan name will not be specified on the run (which usually results in it defaulting to the program name).
Environment
Enter B if the program to be run is a batch program or T if it is an online TSO program.
COBOL Dialect
Enter 1 if the program to be run is an OS/VS COBOL program, 2 if it is a VS COBOL II program, 3 if it a COBOL for MVS program, or 4 if it is a COBOL for OS/390 program. This parameter is used to correctly allocate the language runtime library. If you leave it blank, no allocation will be performed.
Attachment Facility
Enter T if the program uses the TSO attachment facility, C if it uses the call attachment facility (CAF), or R if it uses the RRS attachment facility (RRSAF).
Additional User Load Libraries
Enter the names of any additional load libraries required for the run.
Additional User EXEC Libraries
Enter the names of any additional EXEC libraries required for the run.
