Task definition syntax for z/OS jobs scheduled with IBM Workload Scheduler

The following are descriptions of the task definition syntax (command line “scriptname”) for z/OS jobs that IBM Workload Scheduler schedules and launches from extended agent workstations using the mvsjes (JES2/3 jobs) or mvsopc ( IBM® Z Workload Scheduler jobs) methods.

You specify these task string parameters in the following places when you define their associated IBM Workload Scheduler jobs:
  • In the Task string field of the Task page of the Properties - Job Definition panel, if you use the Dynamic Workload Console
  • As arguments of the scriptname keyword in the job definition statement, if you use the IBM Workload Scheduler command line.
  • As arguments of the JOBCMD keyword in the JOBREC statement in the SCRIPTLIB of IBM Z Workload Scheduler, if you are scheduling in an end-to-end environment.
