Some EOT JOBs remain READY for TWS and block the next ones to be submitted.

Problem

Some EOT JOBs remain READY for TWS and blocks the next ones to be submitted.

It appears to be related to below cards generated at EOT job submit time:

//* SUBMITTED BY:USERCFT1 AT 11/03/16 11:25:34 ,USERID=USERCFT ,CARDS= 00000014

//

Resolution

To avoid such an issue, you must ensure the last EOT JCL record is not itself a JCL card:

Example:

//CFTEOT JOB (),'EXEC 301',CLASS=Z,MSGLEVEL=(0,0) MSGCLASS=Z
//LIB JCLLIB ORDER=(AXWAY.CFTV2.V300CP00.CFTP.JQUAL)
// INCLUDE MEMBER=ENV
//*
//UTIL EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,REGION=128K
//DD DD DISP=(OLD,DELETE,DELETE),DSN=TEST.R300.LOOPTCP.C1111352
//CFTUT EXEC PCFTUTIL,PARM=''
//CFTIN DD *
END PART=LOOPTCP,IDTU=A0000F09
/*
//NONE EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//DD DD *,DLM=XX
