Note that only the SYSOUT and SORTDBIN DD are required for a trial mode execution. An actual execution of the application will require other DDs as documented for SORT or COPY applications.
The STEPLIB DD statement specifies where the MFX and DB2 products can be found. The STEPLIB DD statement would be needed if these products could not be found in the standard system libraries.
The DB2 EXEC statement parameter would be set to the DB2 subsystem name to be accessed.
The SYSOUT data set will contain an input record layout report as shown in the following sample:
You would create MFX control statements with field specifications based on the input record layout and place the control statements in the data set specified by the SYSIN DD statement. You would then create a set of JCL statements for the application.
