IMPORTANT JOB PARAMETERS
Positional Parameters

a) Account Information
b) Name

EX: //ER5077J JOB A123,NAME1

All these parameters are optional as far as JCL is concerned, they
are probably required by your installation.

#
Copyright 2005,
Version No: 1.0
Keyword Parameters
EX: //ER5077J JOB ,,CLASS=A

CLASS specifies the job class that is the nature of the job.
Installation will specify which of the 36 possible classes to use
which is from A to Z and 0 to 9 .
Installation establishes a default class that is in effect if CLASS
is omitted.

CLASS
#
Copyright 2005,
Version No: 1.0
A typical JOB Class assignment
Class Characteristics
A Execute within 15 min of submission
B Execute within 30 min of submission
C Execute within 60 min of submission
D Execute Overnight
H Will be held until released by operator
L Execute within 15 min of submission
T Requires Tape Processing
#
Copyright 2005,
Version No: 1.0
Keyword Parameters
EX: //ER5077J JOB ,,MSGCLASS=A
MSGCLASS specifies the job scheduler message output class.
Job scheduler messages include all messages not printed by the
job steps being executed but the JCL messages and system
messages
Installation establishes a default class that is in effect if
MSGCLASS is omitted.
MSGCLASS
#
Copyright 2005,
Version No: 1.0
Keyword Parameters
EX: //ER5077J JOB ,,MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
MSGLEVEL(statements,messages) specifies the printing of JCL
statements and allocation messages.

EX: MSGLEVEL(0,1) will print only JOB statement, and all the
allocation, JES, SMS and operator messages
By default it is MSGLEVEL(1,1)

MSGLEVEL
#
Copyright 2005,
Version No: 1.0
Keyword Parameters

//ER5077J JOB ,,NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//ER5077J JOB ,,NOTIFY=ER5077

Requests the system sends a message to the TSO user id
specified when the job completes processing
NOTIFY
#
Copyright 2005,
Version No: 1.0
Keyword Parameters
EX: //ER5077J JOB ,,TYPRUN=SCAN
TYPRUN checks the JCL and holds the job in the input queue.
TYPRUN = SCAN checks the JCL for syntax errors and suppresses execution
of the job
TYPRUN = HOLD holds the JCL in the input queue for later execution.It is held
until the operator releases it.
TYPRUN = JCLHOLD(JES2 only) similar to HOLD but the difference is it is
checked while it is not with the HOLD option.
TYPRUN = COPY(JES2 only) lists or duplicates the lines placed in the JOB
statement to the class assigned in the MSGCLASS parameter and suppresses
execution.
TYPRUN
#

Version No: 1.0
SOME OTHER Keyword JOB PARAMETERS
PRTY=Priority : is related to the CLASS parameter. It assigns
priority to jobs which belong to the same class.priority numbers
range from (0-14) or (0-15) depending on installations.

TIME=(min,sec) : signifies how much CPU time the JOB can take to
run.
RESTART=STEPNAME :Forces the JOB execution to start from a
particular STEP.
#
Copyright 2005,
Version No: 1.0
SOME OTHER keyword JOB PARAMETERS
REGION=96K :To override the default amount of workspace
assigned for the job.
COND=(4,LT) :Permits the execution of a steps to depend on the
return code from the previous steps.
ADDRSPC=REAL : It is used to specify whether the program is
to use REAL or VIRTual ADDRess SPaCe. Default is Virtual. If
Real is coded then the REGION parameter is also to be coded.

#
Copyright 2005,

IMPORTANT EXEC PARAMETERS
positional parameters
EX: //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
The PGM parameter identifies the name of the program that is to be
executed.
EX: //STEP1 EXEC PROC=MYPROC
The PROC parameter identifies the name of the procedure that is to
be called.
PGM & PROC
#
Copyright 2005,
Version No: 1.0
keyword parameters
EX: //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBUPDT,PARM=LET,MAP,XREF
The PARM parameter is used to supply information to a program as
it executes.
PARM
#
Copyright 2005,
Version No: 1.0
keyword parameters
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.
ADDRSPC
#
Copyright 2005,
Version No: 1.0
keyword parameters
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
#
Copyright 2005,
Version No: 1.0
COND parameter in detail
Format :

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

ONLY : step will be executed only if previous steps
terminate abnormally.
Only code in the exec statement
not in job statement
#

Version No: 1.0
COND parameter examples
(in JOB statement)
//ER5077J JOB ,,COND=(4,LT)
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//STEP2 EXEC PGM=IFBR14

STEP1 executes with RC = 0
STEP2 executes with
RC *S806 that is it is greater than 4
Job terminates
#
Copyright 2005,
Version No: 1.0
(in EXEC statement)
//ER5077J JOB ,,CLASS=A
//STEP2 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,COND=(0,EQ,STEP1)
STEP2 does not execute
#
Copyright 2005,
Version No: 1.0
(in EXEC statement)
// ER5077J JOB ,,CLASS=A
//STEP2 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,COND=ONLY
STEP2 does not execute
//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 )
#
Copyright 2005,
Version No: 1.0
(in EXEC statement)
//STEP2 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,COND=EVEN
//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 )

IMPORTANTEXECPARAMETERS
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.
