Script Execution in Platform Server Started Task

You can schedule a script request in the platform server address space.

When a script is executed in a stand-alone environment, the script interface program reads input from the SYSIN DD statement. It sends output to the SYSPRINT and SYSTRACE DD statements. To allow multiple copies of this program to work at the same time, the platform server allocates different DD statements for each of the input and output functions. This is done without any user intervention. The only difference is that the script output is no longer associated with a stand-alone job. All script output is associated with the platform server started task. The platform server allocates a DD statement for all output and sends the output to the JES spool. The platform server then displays a message indicating the DD statement to which the output is sent. The following example is a sample of the message:

PGTE4230I Activity I201200001 Script execution started: Output will be in ddname H0100001.

You can then look at DD statement H0100001 for the script output. All script output is deallocated after the file is closed, so that it can be deleted from the JES spool if necessary.
