• IKJEFT01 is used to execute TSO commands via batch jobs.
• REXX can also be executed via batch Job.

Syntax -

//Job Card

Practical Example -

Scenario - JCL to execute the TSO command to delete the dataset using IKJEFT01 utility.

SYSTSPRT Output -

The TSO command execution status will get displayed in Spool(STSTSPRT).

Explaining Example -

• SYSPRINT DD - Specifies an SYSOUT DSN where all product related messages are written.
• SYSTSPRT DD - Used to control the output from the background job.
• SYSUDUMP - Specifies the output dataset where the dump is placed in case of an ABEND.
• SYSTSIN – Used to specify the executable commands and/or subcommands.
• DEL 'MTHUSR.TEST.PDSFILE' - Specifies the TSO command to delete the MTHUSR.TEST.PDSFILE.
