The following MVS JCL features are not supported:

More information about the MVS JCL statements supported by MSS is given later in this section.

MSS supports the running of MVS JCL jobstreams either directly or via the TSO SUBMIT command and the Micro Focus extension ASUBMIT. You can run these TSO commands with the IKJEFT01 utility.

Files containing MVS JCL jobstreams and cataloged procedures can be created on the PC or UNIX machine. Cataloged procedures should be stored as members of partitioned data sets, known as procedure libraries. The procedure libraries are defined to MSS in two different ways:

MSS searches these libraries in the order specified above.

When the job is submitted to an enterprise server for running , the effect depends on the setting of the TYPRUN parameter to the JOB statement as shown below:

TYPRUN=SCAN    The syntax is scanned
TYPRUN=COPY The job stream is copied to a SYSOUT data set
TYPRUN=HOLD Holding of the job until explicitly released for execution
No TYPRUN The job is executed immediately, assuming resources are available
