Submitting JCL via SSTM and the CICS Spooling Facility

If you want to use the CICS spooling facility to submit JCL, you need to activate SSTM for your Enterprise Server.

To submit JCL via SSTM and the CICS Spooling Facility, you need to:

  1. Activate SSTM for your Enterprise Server region
    by setting an environment variable and providing some JCL to initialize the SSTM environment.
  2. Create a CICS application
    that uses the CICS spool facility.
  3. Create a TN3270 Listener
    to allow you to invoke the transaction on the CICS region.
  4. Run the Application
    to submit the JCL via SSTM and use the CICS spooling facility.
