Running the COBOL load module

To run the COBOL module in z/OS®, run the rccbuild command.

About this task

The rccbuild command in batch file runscr.bat passes BCLs and values for user-defined variables to the server.

rccbuild –h servername@port –b runscr –ft runscr.jcl –k IBM-850 –r IBM-037 
–v HLQ=hlqname SYSTEM=hlq2name

Procedure

To run the COBOL load module, do these steps:

Edit the rccbuild command in the batch file runscr.bat.
1. Optional: If you are working on Linux® and the UNIX® system, remove the code page parameters –k IBM-850 –r IBM-037
2. Entering appropriate values for the following variables:
  
  servername@portno
  
  The z/OS server name and the listening port for the Remote Build server
  
  hlqname
  
  The high-level qualifier for your object and load libraries
  
  hlq2name
  
  The second-level qualifier for your object and load libraries
Run the batch file on the client computer.
1. Update your system's search path, if needed, to include the directory that contains the executable rccbuild.
2. Make the directory that contains the sample files the current directory.
3. At the command prompt, enter the following command:
```
runscr.bat
```

Results

The build server returns two output files whose names are derived from information in the RUNSCR BCL:

RUNLOG.SYSPRINT is an empty file. RUNLOG is the step name on the EXEC statement that calls BANNER, the COBOL load module.
RUNLOG.SYSOUT contains the Rational® logo.

These files are returned to the client because RUNSCR BCL also has SYSPRINT and SYSOUT DD statements that include the extension parameter RCCEXT=RCCOUT.
