| 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.
