Control statements in the input stream

Control statements can be placed in the input stream and concatenated to an object module data set, as follows:

//SYSLIN     DD     DSNAME=&&OBJECT,...
//           DD     *
  Binder Control Statements
/*

Another method of handling control statements in the input stream is to use the DDNAME parameter, as follows:

//SYSLIN     DD     DSNAME=&&OBJECT,...
//           DD     DDNAME=SYSIN
             .
             .
             .
//SYSIN      DD     *
  Binder Control Statements
/*

Note: The binder cataloged procedures use DDNAME=SYSIN for the SYSLIN DD statement to specify the primary input data set required.
