Updated Titan Batch Processing Manual Is Available

The Titan Batch Processing manual is for users who run batch jobs on Titan (z/OS system) at the CIT-managed NIH Data Center. The manual describes the job control language (JCL) statements required for running batch jobs, information on using TSO, as well as utility programs available for Titan.

We update the manual frequently. If the date on your printed edition is getting old, you may want to download or print the latest version.

Printing Section Changes

The cut-sheet forms information in the Printing section has been updated to show that there is no longer a default PAGEDEF. The PAGEDEF parameter must be specified.

How to Get a Copy

The Titan Batch Processing manual is available on-line from the CIT publications web page. Under the category "z/OS Systems," click on the link for "Batch Processing and JCL" The manual can be viewed online (as a PDF) or printed to the central printers (if you have a Titan userid or a Unix username/login). Click on the question mark after the name of the manual, to see the date, number of pages, and estimated printing charge (the charge is waived for the first printing of a new version).
