zowe › zos-jobs › submit › data-set🖨️

Submit a job (JCL) contained in a data set. The data set may be of type physical sequential or a PDS member. The command does not pre-validate the data set name. The command presents errors verbatim from the z/OSMF Jobs REST endpoints. For more information about z/OSMF Jobs API errors, see the z/OSMF Jobs API REST documentation.

• --response-format-type | --rft (string)

  • The command response output format type. Must be one of the following:

    table: Formats output data as a table. Use this option when the output data is an array of homogeneous JSON objects. Each property of the object will become a column in the table.

    object: Formats output data as a list of prettified objects (or single object). Can be used in place of "table" to change from tabular output to a list of prettified objects.

    string: Formats output data as a string. JSON objects/arrays are stringified.

    Allowed values: table, list, object, string

• --response-format-header | --rfh (boolean)
