SCT Application System Tape Installation

Compiles, Assemblies and Translates

Part of the installation process is to compile Cobol programs, assemble Assembly programs, and move/rename certain copy members that have dual purposes. All of this can be done from the SPX SCT option, sub-menu 2. It presents a panel that looks as follows:

-------------------  SCT/IA Compile/Assembly Options Menu  --------------------
--------------------------------  DB2 Systems  --------------------------------
Command ===>

 301 Batch Cobol     - Batch Cobol Compile
 303 Batch Subr Cbl  - Batch Cobol Subroutine Compile
 304 Batch DB2 Subr  - Batch DB2 Cobol Subroutine Compile
 305 Onl Main Cobol  - CICS Cobol Main Programs
 306 Online DB2 Main - CICS Cobol DB2 Main Programs
 307 Online Subr Cbl - CICS Cobol Subroutines
 308 Online DB2 Subr - CICS Cobol DB2 Subroutines
 309 Batch Assembly  - Batch Assembly for DB2 Systems
 310 Online Assembly - CICS Assembly for DB2 Systems
 313 Copy Rename     - CICS Cobol Copy Member Move and Rename
 314 Batch DB2 Asm   - Batch DB2 Assembly

-- Press END to Exit --

For non-DB2 systems (LMS, FRS and ZSS), use the 1 submenu.

The SCT Installation Guide indicates several jobs to perform these tasks. These jobs are important because they list the members which must be handled. This panel is used to perform those functions.

SCT stores members to be handled by the above in its INSTALL library. Member names are consistent, in the folowing format:

wwxyyyzz

ww

This is the system indicator, as follows:

System Indicator
ZS	ZSS Application
WS	Z-Writer Subapplication
SI	SIS Application
SH	SIS Student Housing Subapplication
FR	FRS Application
HR	HRS Application
BI	HRS Tax Subapplication

x

Indicates the intended environment:

Environment
B	Batch Environment
C	CICS Environment

yyy

Indicates the language:

Language
ASM	Assembly Program
COB	Cobol Program
DB2	DB2 Cobol Program

zz

This is a two character indicator showing the type of process. The first character shows the type of process. The second character (if present) is used to uniquely identify members so processing can be logically grouped by subsystem. The first character is:

Process
C	CICS Pre-Translate
P	Main Program Processing
S	Subroutine Program Processing
x	Main Program Processing (x is a number)

SCT is fairly consistent with this scheme. However, in SIS, there are some SICCOBSX routines which are, in reality, main programs. Only the SICCOBS routine contains online subroutines. Also in SIS, main batch programs, instead of starting with SIBCOBP actually start with SIBDB2P.

Assemblies

Batch assemblies should normally use the 309 option on the SCT menu. However, a few systems also have DB2 batch assembly programs. These should use the 314 option. CICS assemblies should always use the 310 process.

Cobol Compiles

There are several different Cobol options available. This will only address those related to DB2 systems. There are seven different Cobol options.

Cobol Compile Options
Process	Option	Description
xxBCOBPx	301	Batch Cobol Main Programs
xxBCOBx	301	Batch Cobol Main Programs
xxBDB2Px	301	Batch Cobol Main Programs
xxBDB2x	301	Batch Cobol Main Programs
xxBCOBSx	303	Batch Cobol Subroutines
xxBDB2Sx	304	Batch Cobol DB2 Subroutines
xxCCOBPx	305	CICS Cobol Main Programs
xxCDB2Px	306	CICS Cobol DB2 Main Programs
xxCCOBSx	307	CICS Cobol Subroutines
xxCDB2Sx	308	CICS Cobol DB2 Subroutines

Be sure to observe the exceptions as noted above.
