Utility Control Statements
Control Statements vs. JCL
In contrast to the SCP Job Control Language, the utility control statements are processed
only by the executed utility, not by the SCP. They supply all the specific parameters
required to execute a utility program (that is, function, cartridge VOLSER, location, etc.).
Briefly then, a control statement consists of a command (indicating the utility function)
followed by zero or more parameters in 80 column card-image records. A complete syntax
for the statements can be found in Appendix A, “Macros, Control Statements, Utilities,
and Commands Syntax Reference” on page 429.
Sample SCP Batch Job File - JCL and Control Statements
The ACS UTIL command used to create a template for invoking three utility functions
(first a Scratch Update utility, followed by an Audit utility against one Library Storage
Module [LSM], and finally a Volume Report) is:
EXEC ACS UTIL SCRATCH AUDIT VOLRPT
A sample job file might appear as follows:
Note: It is only necessary to supply those /FILE statements required by the particular
utility function(s) being invoked. Utility functions can also share data sets represented by
the same /FILE statement.
/JOB jobname SLUADMIN
/FILE SLSPRINT DEV PRNT CLASS A
