receive_jcl_jobtype.cfg, to change JCL parameters for a job to a job properties file in RICOH ProcessDirectorproperty name=value format that is read by the first step in this workflow.

- A parent workflow that includes ErrorMessage as a child workflow must include a step based on the WaitForGroup step template after the ManualStepWithManualStart step. That step makes the job wait until you complete the manual step of checking the messages before the job is passed to the next phase.
- Message files from Download for z/OS are sent in line data format. As a result, the ErrorMessage workflow includes a ConvertLineDataJobIntoAFP step. This step converts the message files into AFP so that you can see them and print them. Message files from AFP Download Plus are sent in AFP format, so they do not have to be converted.
- On a Linux system, the ConvertLineDataJobIntoAFP step that this workflow contains returns messages in the language that its External program language property specifies.
