CNTL specification - Key = '8003'

DALCNTL references a JCL CNTL statement that appears earlier in the job. The system searches for an earlier CNTL statement with a label that matches the label specified in the PARM field.

Use DALCNTL to dynamically allocate a printer in direct-printing mode. For more information, see z/OS Communications Server: IP Network Print Facility

When you code DALCNTL, # must be one, LEN is the length of the CNTL statement label, up to a maximum of 26 (X'001A'), and PARM contains the name of the CNTL statement label in one of the following forms:

name
stepname.name
stepname.procstepname.name

Example: To request the system to use the program"" control statements following the CNTL statement named WKLYPGM located: in this step or preceding the first step, code
