Custom JCL for IMS DL/I

Besides JCL Variables (per-PSB library and DD overrides), you can persist a full DLIBATCH skeleton for the endpoint or for one PSB. Use this when the job needs extra steps, a different PROC, or site-specific comments rather than just different library names.

On View Segments, click Custom JCL to open the editor (the dialog title is Custom JCL (PSB name)). Templates are stored with the endpoint.

The button is available when the administrator has left Allow user JCL template edit enabled on the IMS-DLI endpoint (the default). When that extra is off, only the administrator-managed template on the endpoint form applies; users can still use the JCL Variables dialog.

Administrators edit the endpoint-level template in the Custom JCL section of the endpoint form.
