Batch Job & DATACLAS Route File to User-Defined Destination

Introduction

This is a single step job. It uses IEBGENER to create a sequential file containing 80-byte records. The DATACLAS function is used to override the default location (or physical location) for the file.

We have made a significant effort to ensure the documents and software technologies are correct and accurate. We reserve the right to make changes without notice at any time. The function delivered in this version is based upon the enhancement requests from a specific group of users. The intent is to provide changes as the need arises and in a timeframe that is dependent upon the availability of resources.

User-Defined Location for Output

The following member (CATMAPA1.cfg) is the configuration file that defines the user location.

#  ----------------------------------------------------------------
# This example will focus on Micro Focus Enterprise Server and the
# Mainframe Sub-System (or ES/MSS). When a Region (or Server) is
# configured within Micro Focus Enterprise Server to run batch jobs
# (i.e. submit JCL) a default directory is defined and used for
# placement of new physical files that are allocate by a job.
# This is an example of how to catalog a new data set and override
# the base configuration and place the physical file in an
# alternate directory.. The technique provides the capability to
# key off any portion of a catalog record to control the target
# directory where the physical files will reside.

#
#  All keywords must be in UPPER case.
#
#  Each rule can occupy only 1 line.  Examples are below:
#
#  The rules are applied to any new catalog record in the order
#  in which they occur in this file.  The first rule that matches
#  upon an offset within the catalog record will be used.
#
#  Note:  To have the catalogs retain their portability it is a
#         good practice to keep the "SUBDIR" directories at the
#         same level or in directories that are children of the
#         directory containing the CATALOG.DAT file. In the
#         example below the CATALOG.DAT file may be located in
#         "C:\SimoSam1\DEVL\DATA\". This is not an absolute
#         requirement. However, this will help with the
#         maintenance and support efforts.
#
#  To enable set the following environment variable:
#
#  ES_ALLOC_OVERRIDE=d:\dirname\CatMapA1.cfg
#
#  The name of the configuration file can be any valid Windows
#  file name.  In the following examples there is one rule that is
#  keying off the High Level Qualifier or HLQ (SIMOTIME.WRK1), one
#  that is keying off the fact that it is a “spool” record, etc.
#  ----------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  Key off of the DATACLAS value.
OFFSET(449) VALUE(PRINTOUT) SUBDIR(<CATALOGFOLDER>\PRINTOUT)
OFFSET(449) VALUE(TAPECLAS) SUBDIR(<CATALOGFOLDER>\TAPE)
#  Key off of the spool indicator
OFFSET(313) VALUE(S) SUBDIR(<CATALOGFOLDER>\SPOOL)
#  Key off of the UNIT from DD
#  OFFSET(805) VALUE(CART) SUBDIR(C:\SimoSAM1\DEVL\DATA\TAPE)
#  Key off of the VOLUME value.
#  OFFSET(314) VALUE(CSIWRK) SUBDIR(C:\MVSP0030\VOLUME)
#  Key off of the DSORG
#  OFFSET(324) VALUE(VSAM) SUBDIR(C:\MVSP0030\VSAM)
#  Key off of the LRECL
#  OFFSET(469) HEXVALUE(0063) SUBDIR(C:\MVSP0030\LRECL99)

Summary

The DATACLAS function is used to override the default location (or physical location) for the file. This document may be used to assist as a tutorial for new programmers or as a quick reference for experienced programmers.

In the world of programming there are many ways to solve a problem. This documentation and software were developed and tested on systems that are configured for a SIMOTIME environment based on the hardware, operating systems, user requirements and security requirements. Therefore, adjustments may be needed to execute the jobs and programs when transferred to a system of a different architecture or configuration.

SIMOTIME Services has experience in moving or sharing data or application processing across a variety of systems. For additional information about SIMOTIME Services or Technologies please contact us using the information in the  Contact or Feedback  section of this document.

Company Overview

SimoTime Technologies was founded in 1987 and is a privately owned company. We specialize in the creation and deployment of business applications using new or existing technologies and services. We have a team of individuals that understand the broad range of technologies being used in today's environments. Our customers include small businesses using Internet technologies to corporations using very large mainframe systems.

Quite often, to reach larger markets or provide a higher level of service to existing customers it requires the newer Internet technologies to work in a complementary manner with existing corporate mainframe systems. We specialize in preparing applications and the associated data that are currently residing on a single platform to be distributed across a variety of platforms.

Preparing the application programs will require the transfer of source members that will be compiled and deployed on the target platform. The data will need to be transferred between the systems and may need to be converted and validated at various stages within the process. SimoTime has the technology, services and experience to assist in the application and data management tasks involved with doing business in a multi-system environment.

Whether you want to use the Internet to expand into new market segments or as a delivery vehicle for existing business functions simply give us a call or check the web site at http://www.simotime.com
