Hi Matty,

Try this:

click on "manuals" on the top line of this panel.
scroll down to a JCL Ref manual that matches your shops s/w and click
scroll down to the index and click
scroll all the way down to the "T"s and find "typrun" and click
Read

That's what I did.

... and, if you search for "TYPRUN=F" on Google, you'll get a few hits that describe the PROC parameter "TYPRUN=F" used with the CA-11 (UCC11) product:

//UCC11 EXEC UCC11RMS,TYPRUN=F

I have no idea what the parameter signifies.

Hi,
The TYPRUN=F statment will delete all the data sets created by the particilar job.
Generally we use this at the starting of the job to delete all the files that are going to create by this job to avoid the JCL error if the file is alredy created and having the DISP paramenter some thing like (NEW,CATLG,..).

It is like below,
//del exec ca11rms,typrun='f'

Thanks

Hi All,

if we have coded :

//STEP001 EXEC UC11RMS,TYPRUN=P

And your job is calling proc in STEP002 which has 10 steps if your job fails in 5 steps and if you restart the job then it will execute from 6th step.

//STEP001 EXEC UC11RMS,TYPRUN=F

in this schenerio if your job fails at 5 th step and you rerurn the same job then it will execute from top and execute from step 1 to step 10.

Hi jaspal,
Why should we give TYPRUN=F to execute from step 1 to step 10. what is the use of that TYPRUN=F .

Hi,

I checked in the mainframe, but nowhere does it give me the option,
TYPRUN='F'.

This option is used in execution of UCC11RMS like:
//STEP001 EXEC UC11RMS,TYPRUN='F'

Here we are executing the proc called UCC11RMS, and passing the symbolic parameter TYPRUN with value 'F'.

One would have to look into the code of the proc (UCC11RMS) to see how this symbolic parameter (TYPRUN='F') is being used.

Thanks,
Rahul.

Hi Anand,

when we do testing of jobs using JOBTRAC mostly we use TYPRUN

if incase any step abends and we have given the TYPRUN=P and we restart the job again then it will execute steps after which it was abended.

Now if i want to run same job from top then i will change TYPRUN=P to TYPRUN=F thenit will execute from top.

If you want to test use below job and code a PROC which should include more then 2 steps and Abend 2nd step of STEP002 of job:

True.. I'd have gone for RERUN=F(ull) or P(artial) myself, but why go clouding the issue with common sense..

Cheers.
