3. 1/31/07 © 2002 - Mike Murach & Associates, 2006 - HCC, IBM2 Objectives Applied objectives Code JOB parameters to influence job scheduling in the following ways: a.specify the job’s class b.specify the job’s scheduling priority c.hold the job d.scan the job for syntax errors Code JOB and EXEC parameters to: a.limit the amount of storage available during a job step b.specify a job’s real storage requirements Code JCL parameters to set the following processing limits: a.execution time b.SYSOUT print data Code DD statements to allocate the following execution-related data sets: a.job library b.step library c.dump data set

4. 1/31/07 © 2002 - Mike Murach & Associates, 2006 - HCC, IBM3 Objectives Knowledge objectives Describe the rules for coding JES2 or JES3 control statements. Name the JES2 statements you used (1) to specify a job’s scheduling priority (2) to limit the amount of SYSOUT output. Name the JES3 statement used to control job processing options. Describe the search sequence for a program named in an EXEC statement when private libraries are included in the job stream.

JES2/JES3 statements have no name field. JES2/JES3 statements have different continuation rules. The system ignores JES2/JES3 statements in cataloged or instream procedures
