The JCLTEST command is used to test the notification JCL that will be submitted to the internal reader in the event of an process subtask failure, assuming FAILJOB=Y is specified in the startup parameter file and the FAILJOBI / FAILJOBO DD statements are allocated in the Master Controller JCL stream.
Syntax
J # | name | Where # is the process number or name is the process name in which the fail JCL member will be submitted for. The name of the fail JCL member must match the process name specified in the startup parameter dataset. If a process does not have a corresponding fail JCL member, the default fail JCL member ($FAILMAX) is submitted.
