Comments

This script statement was originally implemented to let you call a script in the header, for example to handle special z/OS requirements with Job Control Language"Abkürzung für ""Job Control Language"". Damit sind Anweisungen gemeint, die Verarbeitungsschritte bilden und auf Rechnern ausgeführt werden." (JCL). In that context, the script sets attributes which are requested in the Header, such as another host. However, you can use this script statement more generally when you want to call a script on one Process page from another, even repeatedly.

Tip: You can call an IncludeScript, das häufig und in mehreren Objekten verwendet wird. Auch ein eigener Objekttyp in der Automation Engine. object from another object if you want to insert script lines from the Include object. For more information, see :INCLUDE.

Example

The Pre Process page of a job contains a DIR command. The following script on the Process page calls the script on the Pre Process page:

:INC_SCRIPT (1)

After execution, the job report shows that the DIR command was executed twice: first in the Header (defined on the Pre Process page), and then between the Header and Trailer (by the script on the Process page).
