POWER Statements

Note: The command and operand combinations listed in these topics are supported unless indicated as "parsed but not processed". Where indicated, this means:
  • Parsed but not processed - indicates that the command and the operand are not supported, however, Enterprise Developer parses it and, if it fails validation, a JCL error is generated.
  • Parsed but not processed* - indicates that a number of the operands for JCL and POWER commands (for example, any tape or volume-specific operands) do not apply in the Micro Focus Enterprise Developer environment. See General Differences.

The POWER statements supplement VSE JCL with the following functions:

Job Entry Control Language

Begin with the prefix $$.

* $$ JOB

* $$ JOB sets job-wide POWER parameter values.

* $$ LST

LST spool files are available to the printer exit. See the description of * $$ PUN.

* $$ PUN

PUN spool files are available to the printer exit. All of the following operands are parsed, saved and made available to the printer exit:

Operand
BRTNC=YES|NO
BURST=
CHARS=
CLASS=class
CMPACT=name|NO
COPY=copies
COPYG=
DEST=node_id,user-id,subsys)

RBC=norbc
RBM=norbm1,norbm2
RBS=norbs
REMOTE=remote-id
SYSID=n
TADDR=
UCS=
USER=user-info

* $$ SLI

$$ SLI starts a source library inclusion. A member from a VSE library or an ICCF library is included in the job prior to submission to the reader queue.

     *--- POWER SLI CARD PARAMETERS
     *--- * $$ SLI ICCF=(member-name),LIB=(nnnn)
     *---          or
     *--- * $$ SLI MEM=member-name[.type],S=lib.sublib,sublib[.bookname]
     *---                               up to three sub libraries

Where:

ICCF
member-name will be included from the library MFE.VSE.ICCF.LIBnnnn
SLI MEM
member-name will be included from first sublib where it is found.

* $$ EOJ

Power end-of-job card.

Scheduling

See Micro Focus Batch Scheduler Integration for more.

Operator commands

Various operator commands, such as PALTER, PDELETE, are used to control the processing of jobs under POWER.

The functionality is available using the ESMAC operator console, using scheduling or using the JCL user exit. See ESMAC.
