1.How to check for the errors using TYPRUN=SCAN?What will
be the output if we give TYPRUN=SCAN?

Question Posted / mohamed khan

Answer Posted / mohamed khan

eg., I have a two steps in a Job -
Step 1 runs a program and Step 2 creates an outout file.
Now assume the output file(xxx.xxx)is already present.
If I give TYPRUN=SCAN, this will result in error , file
xxx.xxx already cataloged.

By doing this I save my time since I am alerted about the
file being cataloged before the program in step 1 was run.
(Though I will get the same error when i submit the job as
well)
