The Automation Engine supplies a CallAPI for z/OS. It enables calls in the Automation Engine from your own programs, which can be written in a particular programming languages such as C.
UCXBM25C is a CallAPI utility that can be called from the command line of the operating system, a script, or a job.
You can specify the CodeTable that should be used in the INI file of the z/OS CallAPI. Enter the name of the CodeTable object in the section [GLOBAL] of the parameter codetable=. The IBM standard code table is used if nothing is specified in this parameter. For more information, see Call API z/OS
To Install the CallAPI for z/OS
To install the CallAPI for z/OS you must create the load library using the utility TSO RECEIVE. The delivery directory contains a sample sucI file (UCXBM25C.INI), which can be used for any text file transfer to z/OS. Make sure to adjust the file to your system.
The load library can be transferred with any file transfer (such as IND$FILE without ASCII/EBCDIC conversion or CR/LF conversion).
Notes:
- The load library can be transferred with any file transfer (such as IND$FILE without ASCII/EBCDIC conversion or CR/LF conversion).
- You can keep your existing INI file even if there is a new Automation Engine version and adjust it as required.
