*SMA/WFL/CHECK/MIX

The WFL *SMA/WFL/CHECK/MIX enables the user to check to see if there are any processes in the Waiting mix or Scheduled mix. This utility provides a batch interface to be used in lieu of an operator logging onto the MCP system to perform the interrogations.

Usage​

To use this utility, set up an OpCon job with the following MCP Job Details:

  • Job Command: START
  • Usercode: Desired usercode under which to run the utility
  • File Title: *SMA/WFL/CHECK/MIX ON <diskpack>
  • Arguments: Enter "WAITING" if you want to determine if there are processes in the waiting mix. Enter "SCHEDULED" if you want to determine if there are any processes in the Scheduled entries.

If there are no processes found, the WFL completes OK. If there are processes found, a print file listing these processes is created and the WFL is aborted, resulting in the OpCon job being reported as Failed. You may view the report using "View Job Output".

Here is a sample report indicating there is one entry in the Waiting mix:


000001 2014/02/18 09:41:49
000002 MIX ENTRIES FOUND IN WAITING LIST
000003 Job:4814 Mix:4814 Time Waiting:10.7998464 Name:WFL/WAIT
000004 DISPLAY:PLEASE ENTER RESPONSE.
000005 PROGRAMMATICALLY SUSPENDED
000006 Responses: OK, DS

At this point, you can log onto the MCP platform to address the condition, create an OpCon job that starts *SMA/WFL/COMMAND to respond to the condition, or start some other OpCon job to address the condition.
