Functions to use with care in trigger programs

 

Some control language (CL) commands and functions are not recommended in a trigger program and need to be carefully considered if they are to be used. These CL commands and functions are:

• STRCMTCTL (Start Commitment Control)

• RCLSPLSTG (Reclaim Spool Storage)

• RCLRSC (Reclaim Resources)

• CHGSYSLIBL (Change System Library List)

• DLTLICPGM, RSTLICPGM, and SAVLICPGM (Delete, Restore, and Save Licensed Program)

• SAVLIB (Save Library) with SAVACT other than (*NO)

• Any commands with DKT or TAP

• Any migration commands

• The debug program (a security exposure)

• Any commands related to remote job entry (RJE)

• Invoking another CL or interactive entry—might reach lock resource limit.
