(1)

The JOB statement indicates the beginning of a job.

(2)

The EXEC statement specifies that the Enterprise COBOL compiler (IGYCRCTL) is to be invoked.

(3)

This DD statement defines the data set where the Enterprise COBOL compiler resides.

The Language Environment® SCEERUN and SCEERUN2 data sets must be included in the concatenation (together with the compiler SIGYCOMP data set), unless the Language Environment data sets are available in the LNKLST.

(4)

The SYSUT DD statements define the utility data sets that the compiler will use to process the source program. All SYSUT files must be on direct-access storage devices.

(5)

The SYSPRINT DD statement defines the data set that receives output from compiler options such as LIST and MAP. SYSOUT=A is the standard designation for data sets whose destination is the system output device.

(6)

The SYSLIN DD statement defines the data set (the object module) that receives output from the OBJECT compiler option.

(7)

The SYSIN DD statement defines the data set (source code) to be used as input to the job step.

You can use a mixture of files in the z/OS UNIX file system (PATH='unix-directory-path') and traditional MVS data sets (DSN=mvs-data-set-name) in the compilation DD statements for the following data sets:

• Sources files
• Object files
• Listings
• ADATA files
• Debug files
• Executable modules

However, the compiler utility files (DD statements SYSUTx) and COPY libraries (DD statement SYSLIB) must be MVS data sets.
