3.2 Using Your Own JCL to Run COBOL and SQR Directly on DB2 z/OS Server

You can continue to run COBOL and SQR directly on z/OS using your own custom JCL.

Refer to the following sections in the PeopleSoft 9.2 Application Installation for Db2 for z/OS guide for the current PeopleTools release::

• Setting Up a Manual Batch Environment on z/OS

• Reviewing JCL Samples for Optional Manual Batch Environments - Use this as a guide to create your own JCL to execute COBOL and SQR in an optional, manual batch processing environment.

This section applies if you are running PeopleSoft FSCM 9.2 on the DB2 z/OS database platform and want to run SQR and COBOL processes on the z/OS server that require reading and writing of external files using your own JCL. Additional modifications must be made to your JCL to process these files.

PeopleSoft General Ledger and PeopleSoft Cash Management both contain several of these special files in certain SQR processes. To accommodate these files, data sets must be pre-allocated on the z/OS file system.
