Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an output system of a job separator, and more particularly to an output system of a job separator that indicates a break of each job in an output list.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a computer system, a plurality of jobs are executed continuously, and the execution results of each job are output as a list. In the output list, the first page and the last page of each job are set as job separators, and each job is identified by the job separator. The job name of each job and the job number, which is the serial number of the executed job, are printed on the conventional job separator.

[0003]

As described above, when a job name and a job number are printed on a job separator, it is easy to separate the output list in units of job, but the output list is separated. It is not possible to determine who or what list each job list is based on the job name and the job number, and there is a problem that it takes time to sort the output list of each job.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above points,
An object of the present invention is to provide an output method of a job separator in which the contents of an output list of each job are clarified by a job separator, and separation is easy and time can be reduced.

[0005]

FIGS. 1A and 1B show the principle of the present invention.

In FIG. 1A, a comment output operand 2 is provided in a job control statement constituting the job control language (JCL) 1 and specifies a comment unique to each job.

[0007] The comment adding means 3 is provided when a comment output operand 2 is included in the job control statement.
Adds the comment specified in the comment output operand to the job separator.

In FIG. 1B, a plurality of registered patterns are registered in the registered pattern file 5 in advance corresponding to the member names.

Search means 6 searches the registered pattern file 5 for a registered pattern based on the member name of the comment output operand 2.

[0010] The registration pattern searched by the search means 6 is added to the job separator by the addition means 3.

[0011]

In the present invention, since the comment specified by the comment output operand 2 in the JCL 1 is added to the separator on the output list 4 and output, the contents of the output list for each job can be obtained by simply looking at the job separator. And it is easy to know in a short time.

Further, by adding the registered pattern searched by the member name of the comment output operand to the job separator and outputting it, the nature of each job can be known by the registered pattern and roughly classified.

[0013]

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a job control language (JCL), which describes the division of each job, the content and execution order of each job, the nature of a data file, and the like by using job control statements 10a to 10e. The job statement 10a on the first line of the JCL 10 is used to introduce and identify a new job, and a job name AAA is specified. The execution statement 10b on the second line is used to introduce and identify a job step, and indicates a program or procedure to be executed. Data definition statement 10 on lines 3-5
Each of c, 10d, and 10e is used for linking a program and a data set used in the program. Among these, the data definition statement 10c specifies a parameter relating to the job separator for list output by a comment output operand. In this example, the member name “A” and the comment “FAC” are output by the comment output operand “SEP =”.
OM-SE "is specified.

The above-mentioned JCL 10 is read by an operating system (OS) 11, and the OS 11 executes a job according to each of the statements 10a to 10e. If the data has a definition statement 10c, the registered pattern file is searched by the member name of the output operand to obtain a registered pattern corresponding to the member name.

The registered pattern file 12 has registered patterns (for example, "USED ONLY", "XXXXX") corresponding to member names (for example, "A", "B", "C", etc.).
XXX ”) are set and registered in advance. As this registration pattern, departments such as a sales section and a development section may be prepared.

After executing the job, the OS 11 outputs a list of execution results. At this time, a registration pattern (for example, USED ONLY) 15c and a comment (for example, FACOM-SE) are printed and output together with the job number (for example, J1234) 15a and the job name (for example, AAA) 15b on the job separator of the output list 14.

FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of a job separator output process executed by the OS 11.

In FIG. 2, in step 20, the output operand "SEP" is added to the data definition statement of JCL10.
It is determined whether or not there is an "=", and if there is an output operand, it is determined in step 21 whether or not a comment is specified for this output operand. If a comment has been designated, the comment is stored in an output area in step 22. Next, regardless of whether or not a comment has been designated, the registered pattern file 12 is searched using the member name in step 23 to obtain a registered pattern and store it in the output area.

After execution of step 23 or step 20
If there is no comment output operand, step 24
To create a job separator from the job number, the job name, the comment in the output area, and the registration pattern, and output the list in step 25. Thus, JCL
Since the comment specified by the comment output operand in 10 is added to the separator on the output list 4 and output, the contents of the output list for each job can be clearly known only by looking at the job separator. Is simple and quick.

Further, by adding the registered pattern searched by the member name of the comment output operand to the job separator and outputting it, the nature of each job can be known by the registered pattern and roughly classified.

[0021]

As described above, according to the job separator output method of the present invention, the contents of the output list of each job are clearly defined by the job separator, so that separation is easy and time can be reduced, which is extremely useful in practice.
