Test JCL

Before implementing a new T&A front-end system, testing is done to ensure successful transmission in the production environment. The remote printer number, user ID, and the option to print/suppress the T&A Transmission Confirmation Reports are the only fields completed by the Agency; the other fields are constant and must be included in your JCL as shown below.
