Run-Time Settings (RTS)

RTS is a set of predefined run-time settings that control how PRO/JCL:

  • Validates JCL and control statement members.
  • Simulates MVS and non-IBM product functions (such as schedulers, security, and so on).
  • Generates the Structured JCL Listing (SJL) report from the members it scans.

The run-time settings are defined in the RTS members which are stored in the Product Control File (PC File). The RTS members are created by the PRO/JCL system administrator. Users cannot create or edit the members but can select a member that is defined by the administrator. A default RTS member is available in the PC File named as DEFAULT. This member can be used by all users. For more information on RTS, see PRO/JCL's System Administrator's document.
