Running the Spool Housekeeping Program from JCL

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 %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Studio Enterprise Edition x.x\base\source , 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=*
