About SAP JCL

Lines with SAP JCL can be linked with :JCL_CONCAT_CHAR. There is no limitation for JCL lines.

Some of the SAP JCL commands depend on the interface that is used. Refer to the individual script elements to learn about syntax differences in more detail. The script elements that are available for the individual interfaces are found in the chapter Functional Differences.

AE submits the properties of all fields to the SAP interface (printer name, program name etc.). Maximum field lengths, allowed values etc. are NOT described in the Automation Engine Documentation as these field descriptions are available in the SAP Dictionary for the corresponding versions.

SAP JCL elements: Parameter values must be indicated as script literals if the relevant value includes blanks. Otherwise, you can optionally use inverted commas regardless whether the value is a number, a character or a string.
