z/OS - Add support for EXEC RD parameter

Introduces support for the JCL RD keyword specified on the JOB or EXEC statements.

The RD parameter can be coded on the JOB or EXEC JCL statements. If coded on the JOB statement, it will apply to all steps in the job and it will override any EXEC statement specifications. Regardless of any JCL RD specification, the UAGRERUN step itself will always be restartable.

There are four valid values for the RD keyword: NR, NC, R and RNC. Only RD=NR and RD=NC indicate a step is not to be restarted. Program UAGRERUN will look for these two values and mark steps as non-restartable when they are detected.


Note

This is a change in behavior from prior releases.

The default behavior will be to honor the RD setting for a step. A new configuration parameter rerun_options can be used to turn the new behavior off. The value for rerun_options will be a parameter string which will be passed as-is to the UAGRERUN program. To turn off honoring the RD JCL keyword code: “rerun_options NORDNR”.

The NORDNR parameter can also be passed into UAGRERUN when it running stand-alone. RDNR can be coded on an individual task to override an installation default setting of NORDNR.
