Task Processing Options

When you create tasks for an interactive application or batch application, you can designate processing options to be used with them. Processing options for a task determine how the interactive application or batch application is executed, such as whether to prompt the user for a version of an application or to execute an application blindly.

The UDC table 98/CD assists you when defining the task processing options. You access the UDC table 98/CD Task Design on the Task Selection Revisions form (W0082C).

Generally, you should set up UBEs (batch applications) on a task to prompt for a version if there are processing options associated with the UBE. When there are multiple versions of a batch application, the user must select the version before the application executes.

With interactive applications, you should set up blind execution on a task. When an application is set up on a task using the blind execution option, the application executes without any interaction from the user.

This table lists more detailed information about setup options:

Option Code 98/CD	ZJDE0000	XJDE0000	Blank (or not version defined)
Blank = No processing option	Warning: Currently, this setup produces the versions list. Calling the versions list contradicts the definition and purpose of a ZJDE version. Set the Options Code to 1 or 3.	OK: No warning given. The versions list will be presented.	OK: No version exists or more than one UBE version exists. The versions list will display. For an interactive application where there are no versions, use this setup.
1 = Blind execution	OK: A blind submit will occur. Use for interactive applications or batch applications with ZJDE versions.	Warning: An XJDE is not usually a blind execution submit. Set the Option Code to Blank or 2, or determine if the version should be a ZJDE.	Warning: If you are blindly submitting, you should have a ZJDE version defined. Resolution: Determine which version type you have and set the Option Code accordingly.
2 = Prompt for Versions	Warning: A ZJDE is a blind version submit. It is incorrect to ask for the versions list to be displayed with a ZJDE version. Change the Option Code to 1 or 3, or determine if the version should be a XJDE.	OK: Multiple XJDE versions exist or user-defined versions exist and you want to select from the versions list. Option Code Blank displays the versions list.	OK: Versions list will be displayed.
3 = Prompt for Values	OK: The processing options will display and an automatic launch will occur.	OK: This could happen. Probably more likely to see this at a client site.	Warning: If you have not set up a version, prompting for values is incorrect. If no versions exist, set Option Code to Blank.
