Acs/qa JCL statement definitions

SMSDEBUG input consists of ACS test cases. These test cases can be manually generated via the ISMF > Test Facility (ISMF option 7.4), or via an automated method such as generating the test cases from saved ISMF lists or SMF data (see ISMF option 11.1).

The following JCL statements are used in the ACS/QA execution:

  • JOB: Job statement for the execution JCL.
  • EXEC: Specifies the program name for the ACS/QA test facility: PGM=ACSQA
  • SYSIN (Required): Provides control statement input. SYSIN must be an 80-character sequential dataset or PDS member. This DD statement may have an alternate DD name of DBGIN.
  • SYSPRINT (Required): This is the primary output dataset for ACS/QA. SYSPRINT must be a 133-character sequential dataset or PDS member, RECFM=FBA.
  • SUMMARY (Optional): Provides a one-line-per-testcase summary of each testcase run. If this DD statement is present, ACS/QA will print a one-line summary for each testcase, showing the SMS constructs assigned by the ACS routines for each testcase. SUMMARY must be a 133-character sequential dataset or PDS member, RECFM=FBA. This DD statement may have an alternate DD name of DBGSUMM.
  • TESTCASE (Optional): Indicates the partitioned dataset or PDSE which contains the test cases. This dataset may also be specified via the TESTLIB parameter of the SELECT control statement in SYSIN. TESTCASE must be an 80-character RECFM=FB dataset.
Tip: For more information on generating test cases, refer to the relevant ISMF options as described above.
