(1) Is this what you are looking for..........(JES2 Initialization Dataset Checker) https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.ha sa300/dscheck.htm (2) It does depend on the error. In my experience with changing JES2 init parms, a syntax error can cause JES2 to issue an error message along with a WTOR asking for the correct values or to ignore the error. JES2 initialization waits in these cases for a response to the WTOR.

[[ SEI WARNING *** This email was sent from an external source. Do not open attachments or click on links from unknown or suspicious senders. *** ]] Humor me. I'm an experienced developer playing newbie sysprog in my spare time. I've got a JES2 system where I want to change the order of job classes for some of the initiators. I could get professional help but it is a service bureau so that involves opening a ticket, dollars, etc., etc. I have done it through SDSF and all is well. I now want to make the change persistent. I have JES2PARM open in an editor. I can make the changes *very carefully*. Questions: (1) is there any way to test it, particularly that I have not fouled it up terribly? The next IPL is probably months away, and a failure would be very unpleasant. Is there any sort of non-disruptive "TYPRUN=SCAN" sort of option to get JES2 to say the parm file is or is not okay? (2) alternatively, what would happen if it were bad? Suppose I fat-fingered a comma? Unusable system? I am not sure what I am looking at but it looks to me like TCPIP and TCAS are running under JES2.
