JCL Procedure

The following figure illustrates the Universal Query for z/OS JCL procedure (UQRYPRC, located in the SUNVSAMP library) that is provided to simplify the execution JCL and future maintenance.


//UQRYPRC  PROC UPARM=,               -- UQUERY options
//             UCMDPRE=#SHLQ.UNV
//*
//PS1      EXEC PGM=UQUERY,PARM='ENVAR(TZ=EST5EDT)/&UPARM'
//STEPLIB  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=&UCMDPRE..SUNVLOAD
//*
//UNVNLS   DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=&UCMDPRE..SUNVNLS
//UNVTRACE DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT   DD  SYSOUT=*
//CEEDUMP  DD  SYSOUT=*

The parameter UPARM is used to specify EXEC PARM keyword values for Universal Query. The PARM values to the left of the slash ( / ) character are IBM Language Environment parameters.

(See the section on z/OS Installation in the Universal Agent 7.7.x Installation, Upgrade, and Applying Maintenance for information regarding the customization of Language Environment parameters.)

JCL

The following figure illustrates the Universal Query for z/OS JCL using the UQRYPRC JCL procedure, above.


//jobname  JOB CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X
//STEP1    EXEC UQRYPRC
//SYSIN    DD  *
-i dallas
/*


Job step STEP1 executes the procedure UQRYPRC.
