JPH0756717A - Automatic jcl preparing device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically prepare a job control language(JCL) design specification and a JCL source and to guarantee the quality of the JCL source based upon the JCL design specification by inputting a job flow and file detailed information from a work station terminal. CONSTITUTION:An JCL design specification storing external storage device 13 stores information inputted from an input device and a document output device 14 reads out the stored information and outputs a JCL design specification. A JCL source generating device 15 also reads out the information similarly from the device 13 and automatically generates a JCL source. If a fault exists in each generated results, processing is returned up to an input device step to repeat the processing. When a fault exists in the automatically generated JCL source, processing is returned up to the input device step and the information stored in the device 13 is updated, so that the JCL design specification and the JCL source prepared from the information stored in the device 13 are always synchronized with each other after ending the processing step of the device 15.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a JCL (job control language) automatic creating apparatus, and more particularly to a JCL automatic creating apparatus which guarantees the quality of a JCL source by describing a JCL design document with drawings and detailed information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional JCL creating method is generally a method of manually creating a JCL by manually coding the JCL or converting or processing an already created JCL.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The above-mentioned conventional JCL
In the creation method, at least in the initial stage, J
It was necessary to code the CL, and failures such as description mistakes often occurred. Further, in the maintenance of JCL as well, conventionally, there is only a method of managing by JCL source, and there is a drawback that it is difficult to visually maintain it by a diagram or the like.

[0004]

A JCL automatic creation apparatus of the present invention is an input apparatus for inputting job flow and file detailed information as input information, a screen apparatus for displaying the input information on a screen, and the screen displayed. JC that stores information
An external storage device for storing the L design document, a document output device for outputting the JCL design document as a document from the job flow and file detailed information, a generation device for automatically generating a JCL source from the jab flow and file detailed information, and An external storage device for storing the JCL source that stores the generated JCL source, and a transfer device that transfers the automatically generated JCL source to the storage device for storing the JCL source of the host machine.

[0005]

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an input device 11, a screen device 12 including a display, a document output device 14, and the like.
6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the present invention by the operation of the JCL source generation device 15, the transfer device 17, and the like.

In this embodiment, in a workstation terminal, an input device 11, a screen device 12, an external storage device 13 for storing a JCL design document, a document output device 14,
It comprises a JCL source generation device 15, a JCL source storage external storage device 16, and a transfer device 17.

Here, the processing when there is a failure in the source when a new JCL source is created will be shown.

In the workstation terminal, first, the job flow and file detailed information are input from the input device 11 (step 1), and the information displayed on the screen of the screen device 12 (step 2) is the external storage device for storing the JCL design document. 13 is stored. Document output device 14 is JCL
Information is read from the external storage device 13 for storing the design document, and J
The CL design document is output (step 3). The output JC
If there is a failure in the L design document, the process returns to the processing step of the input device 11, and if not, the processing in the next step is performed (step 4). The JCL source generation device 15 reads information from the JCL design document storage external storage device 13 and
The L source is automatically generated and the JCL source is stored in the JCL source storing external storage device 16 (step 5). If the generated JCL source has a failure, the process returns to the processing step 1 of the input device 11 (step 6), and the generated JC
When there is no failure in the L source, the transfer device 12 reads the JCL source from the JCL source storage external storage device 13 and transfers it to the JCL source library of the host machine (step 7).

As described above, when there is a failure in the automatically generated JCL source, the processing returns to the processing step 1 of the input device 11, and the information stored in the external storage device 13 for storing the JCL design document is updated. , JCL design documents and JCL sources created from the information stored in the device are JCL
After the processing steps of the source generation device 15 are completed, they are always collated. Here, the time required for reading and writing to each external storage device can be neglected in comparison with the time required for the conventional JCL creating method, which is a human work center.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, the JCL design document and the JCL source are automatically created by the collation processing between the document output device and the JCL generation device from the information in the external storage device for storing the JCL design document. , The JCL manual and the JCL source are always checked, it is possible to guarantee the quality of the JCL source by the JCL design document, and the JCL can be maintained by the JCL design document detailed in the embodiments. effective.
