IMPORTANT EXEC PARAMETERS
positional parameters
(PGM & PROC)
ex. //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
ex. //STEP1 EXEC PROC=MYPROC
• The PGM parameter identifies the name of the program that is

to be executed.
• The PROC parameter identifies the name of the procedure that is

to be called.

keyword parameters
(PARM)
ex. //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBUPDT,PARM=MOD
• The PARM parameter is used to supply information to a program

as it executes.
10/15/08 6
keyword parameters
(ADDRSPC)
ex. //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBUPDT,
// ADDRSPC=VIRT
• The ADDRSPC parameter is to indicate to the system that the job

step is to use either VIRT (virtual) or REAL (real) storage.
• By default it is virtual.
10/15/08 7
keyword parameters
(COND)
ex. //STEP3 EXEC PGM=IEBUPDT,COND=(8,LE,STEP1)
• The COND Permits the execution of steps to depend on the

return code from the previous steps.
• The question should be is 8 less than the RC code of STEP1.
If Yes then Bypass STEP3
If No Execute STEP3
• The COND parameter is also a JOB parameter.

COND parameter in detail

Format :
COND=( 0/4/6/8/12/16 , GT/GE/LT/LE/EQ/NE , step name , EVEN/ONLY )
RC comparison Condition
code
(0 - 4095)
EVEN : step will be executed even if previous steps
terminate abnormally

COND parameter examples
(in JOB statement)
000100 //INF6244A JOB COND=(4,LT)
000200 //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
000300 //STEP2 EXEC PGM=IFBR14
• STEP1 executes with RC = 0

• Job terminates
10/15/08

000100 //INF6244A JOB

000220 //STEP3 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,COND=ONLY
• STEP1 abends with RC = *S806
• STEP2 does not execute ( if a single step abends all other steps
are bypassed if no COND statement is there )
• STEP3 executes with RC = 0 10/15/08
13

000100 //INF6244A JOB
000300 //STEP2 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,COND=EVEN
000100 //INF6244A JOB
000220 //STEP3 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,COND=EVEN
• STEP1 abends with RC = *S806
• STEP2 does not execute ( if a single step abends all other steps
are bypassed if no COND statement is there )

(in EXEC statement)
//INF6244A JOB
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14

000100 //INF6244A JOB
000220 //STEP3 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,
000230 // COND=((0,NE,STEP2))

• STEP3 executes with RC = 0 10/15/08
15
(in EXEC statement)
000100 //INF6244A JOB
000230 // COND=((0,NE,STEP2),(0,NE,STEP1))

000100 //INF6244A JOB
000230 // COND=((0,NE,STEP2),(0,EQ,STEP1))

• STEP3 does not execute 10/15/08
16
(STEP overriding JOB)
000100 //INF6244A JOB COND=(0,NE)

000100 //INF6244A JOB COND=(0,NE)

000220 //STEP3 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,COND=(0,EQ,STEP2)

10/15/08
• STEP3 executes with RC = FFLUSH 17
keyword parameters
(IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF)
ex. // IF (STEPA.RC GE 4) THEN
//jcl statements
// ELSE
//jcl statements
// ENDIF
• The IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF statement construct provides a simple

means of selectively executing job steps.
• It is available in Release 4 or later , of MVS/ESA and eliminates

the need to struggle with the COND parameter.

SPACE
SPACE=(space units,(primary,secondary,dir),RLSE)
space unit - TRK(tracks)/CYL(cylinders)/BLOCKSIZE in
bytes
eg: SPACE=(1024,(100,200)
SPACE=(TRK,(10,5) - allocate 10 tracks primarily and if

required as secondary allocation 5 tracks 10/15/08
25
UNIT
• Hardware address
• Type
• Group
// UNIT=0320
OR
// UNIT=3390
OR
// UNIT=SYSDA
To use the same unit that has been used by prior DD statement
// UNIT=AFF=ddname
10/15/08
26
VOL
• It is used to specify a disk volume or specific tapes.
// VOL=SER=INUSR2,UNIT=SYSDA
To referback a volume used by some prior DD statement use:

// VOL=REF=ddname
10/15/08
27
SYSOUT
• SYSOUT is used to route output to a device.
// DDNAME DD SYSOUT=CLASS
// DDNAME DD SYSOUT=A
If you want to send the output to the same device described by

MSGCLASS of the job use
// DDNAME DD SYSOUT=*

JOBLIB STATEMENTS
ex. //INFOSYS1 JOB

//JOBLIB DD DSN=INFOSYS.COMPLIB.LOAD,
• // DISP = SHR DISP = (what should be the disposition)
• //STEP1 EXEC PGM=INHOUSE
• The JOBLIB statement defines the library where the program is

residing. It is placed after the JOB statement and is effective for
every JOB steps.
10/15/08
29
STEPLIB STATEMENTS
ex. //STEP1 EXEC PGM=INHOUSE

//STEPLIB DD DSN=INFOSYS.COMPLIB.LOAD,
• // DISP = SHR
(what should be the disposition)
• The STEPLIB statement defines the library where the program is

residing. It is placed after the EXEC statement and is effective for
that particular step and overrides any JOBLIB statement.
