Specifying a worker job name

Use the -j option to specify the text that is used in constructing the JCL job name for the worker job.

This argument enables you to specify a job name that can override the default job name. The Remote Build server automatically performs the following changes:
  • Truncates to five characters if the text is longer than five characters
  • Changes the text to upper case
  • Adds a suffix consisting of a 1- to 3-digit number
You must ensure the resulting text is proper to use in a JCL job name: a job name must be 1 to 8 characters consisting of uppercase letters, numbers, or special characters (for example, #, @, and $). The name must not begin with a number.

Example

Note: The examples in this topic are for illustrating command syntax. You need to substitute values appropriate to your site for the command parameters.
In the following example, the worker job is submitted with a job name that begins with MYJCL. The host system automatically adds the suffix of a 1- to 3-digit number.
–j MYJCL
