Schedulers like IBM TWS(EWTR) can't acquit (ligne // ?) - statistic lines added to the submitted JCL
Problem
Tracker TWS(EWTR) can't acquit (ligne // ?) from JCL sublitted by CFT
The job remains READY for TWS and blocks the related next batches
Resolution
Since years, CFT adds statistics line to the submitted JCL in the form:
//* SUBMITTED BY:jbobname AT DD/MM/YY hh:mm:ss ,USERID=username ,CARDS= 0000000
//
Possible workaround:
Those statistics are not added when the job submitted by CFT ends with a non JCL card:
IE:
...
/*
//NONE EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//DD DD *,DLM=XX
XX
Enhancement:
Starting with Transfer CFT 3.1.3 SP8, the user can decide globally to add or not those statistic lines:
A parameter is added in SGINSTAL (A12OPTS)
Parameters:
[SUBOPT = {0|1|3}]
Description:
To manage the 2 statistic lines in job submitted by CFT.
. 0: Default, 2 lines are generated at the end of JCL
//* SUBMITTED BY:jbobname AT DD/MM/YY hh:mm:ss ,USERID=username ,CARDS= 0000000
//
. 1: only the statistic line is generated at the end of JCL and no ‘//’
//* SUBMITTED BY:jbobname AT DD/MM/YY hh:mm:ss ,USERID=username ,CARDS= 0000000
. 3: No line is generated at the end of JCL
