IET Gen Development Blog

This is an occasional blog about IET's use of CA Gen for internal development as well as thoughts, tips and techniques on using CA Gen for application development. It is aimed at the CA Gen development professional, so please excuse the jargon and assumed level of knowledge about CA Gen. Reference will also be made to our products to put the development into context, so if you are not familiar with these, please visit the IET web site by clicking on the company logo.

Gen 8.0 FP1 and Batch z/OS Libraries

A previous posting described the new Gen 8.0 feature for z/OS dynamic RI triggers and libraries and an issue related to batch support. This has been addressed in Gen 8.0 Feature Pack 1 which is currently under beta test. FP1 also introduces some a useful enhancement to host encyclopaedia construction in allowing you to specify separate on-line and batch load libraries, so that when a dynamic action block needs to be linked separately for on-line and batch, this can be done from the same business system into separate load libraries.
