Control M: Zoom Screen

This section breaks down the various fields you see within a job using the Zoom command.    Many of the fields within the zoom     screen can be altered.   There a few (they will show a different color) that cannot.   To make any changes, a job must be in a HELD     state before zooming, then when in the zoom screen make the changes and type SAVE at the command line.   Remember to FREE     the job when you are satisfied with your change.   Type CANCEL instead of SAVE if you don’t want your changes to be saved. MEMNAME – schedule member name, should be same as jobname. MEMLIB – denotes where CTM will scan for jcl, standard is GENERAL, which will default to the                     predefined concatenation.   An entry of DUMMY indicates a dummy job, or one that will not execute jcl.   These                    are used as schedule placeholders.   OWNER – owner id of job.
