SYMLIST on a DD statement - Key = '802B'

DALSYML lists the symbol names to be passed to JES when an internal reader is allocated. This key is allowed only when text unit DALSYSOU is also coded, and its value must be the 6-character string INTRDR. This is because it is meant for allocations to an internal reader only.

When you code this key, # contains the number of symbol names being specified up to a maximum of 128 (X'0080'), LEN is the length of the PARM, and PARM contains valid symbol names. In addition, '*' is a valid value for a symbol name to indicate that all symbols can be used in JCL; refer to the SYMLIST keyword in the DD statement in z/OS MVS JCL Reference.

Example: To specify SYMLIST with symbol name NAMES on a DD, code:

KEY    #      LEN    PARM
802B   0001   0005   D5 C1 D4 C5 E2
0018   0001   0001   5C
0019   0001   0006   C9 D5 E3 D9 C4 D9

The DSNTYPE text unit key section has a format for multiple text units.
