The spool house keeping program, MVSP0027, can be called in batch from a user-written program run by JCL.
To do this, you must write your program to assign the fields as indicated by the instructions in copybook spoolhk.cpy, found in $COBDIR/cpylib, and call MVSP0027. For example:
Example JCL to call your program
//EXAMP1 JOB 'CPTEST',CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=A //STEP01 EXEC PGM=MFSPHK01 //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* //OFILE DD SYSOUT=*
Example program to invoke housekeeping
