You use this dialog box to submit user-defined JCL. This action request is a more flexible equivalent to the toolkit commands that the product provides.
The Options tab of this dialog box provides the fields that are described below.
To learn about the standard capabilities of a dialog box, see Standard tabs in the dialog boxes of the Storage Toolkit. The topic includes a link to the Reference guides for commands that are used in the Storage Toolkit.
For example, an IEHLIST job might use a SYSIN DD statement that points to a DASD data set rather than in-stream control cards. That data set could contain substitution variables that need replacement at execution time.
If no data sets that contain substitution variables are referenced from the JCL, this area of the dialog box can remain empty.
Be sure to consult the RKLVLOG for additional messages regarding these results.
When configuration of the batch job is complete, you click OK in the Create Batch Job dialog box. At this point, the JCL file that you provide and any files outside that JCL that contain substitution variables are copied into temporary files. These temporary files are used when the batch job JCL is submitted.
