Unsupported Statements and Restrictions

You cannot use the following statements in the JCL scheduler portion of the TP profile:
  • Job entry control language (JECL) statements. These are the statements associated with JES2 or JES3; for example:
       //*FORMAT
       //*MAIN

    If JES2 JECL statements are coded, they are detected as JCL errors. If JES3 JECL statements are coded, they are ignored and appear as comments.

  • Internal reader control statements; for example:
       /*EOF
       /*DEL
  • Instream commands:
       "//  command                          "
       "//  COMMAND '... command text ...'   "
  • The XMIT statement:
       "//  XMIT                             "

    The XMIT JCL statement has no function in an APPC scheduling environment. If you code an XMIT statement, however, it must be syntactically correct to avoid JCL errors.
