1) Add a new value for the SIZE parameter on the EXEC JCL statement, which will specify that the length of the program being executed is to be used as the Non-GETVIS area length: SIZE=* or SIZE=(*,{nk|mM}) (This means add nK or mM to the program length).  2) Add a new value for the JCC SIZE (which is usually placed in BG JCL procedure): SIZE {BG|Fn}={nK|mM|*}

                                                                                            

  Benefit :    (Why?  Non-technical business case description, i.e a business case. Do not reword problem statement above. How do you to justify the needed change?  Wwill itrequest benefit the submitter’s your company, and the vendor and others? Business case and benefits to users and vendor which can to justify the needed change?.  Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc. Also, wWhy should is it important for vendor to want to do this for their customer?s)

 

The proper syntax of the EXEC JCL statement for running a program compiled by LE enabled compiler such as COBOL or PL/1 for VSE is: // EXEC PROG,SIZE=PROG.  This is unnecessary and proned to error.  After my proposal, the above would be implemented as follows: // EXEC PROG,SIZE=*, or just // EXEC PROG, if SIZE Fn=* JCC was coded.

4 months
