- program-name
- Specifies the member name or alias of the program to be executed.
The program-name is 1 through 8 alphanumeric or national ($, #, @)
characters; the first character must be alphabetic or national.
Use
this form of the parameter when the program resides in a system library,
such as SYS1.LINKLIB, or in a private library specified in the job
by a JOBLIB DD statement or in the step by a STEPLIB DD statement.
- *.stepname.ddname
- Refers to a DD statement that defines, as a member of a partitioned
data set (PDS) or a partitioned data set extended (PDSE), the program
to be executed. Stepname identifies the EXEC statement of the earlier
job step that contains the DD statement with ddname in its name field.
Use
this form of the parameter when a previous job step creates a temporary
library to store a program until it is required.
When referring
to a DD statement, the system does not honor requests for special
program properties as defined in the program properties table (PPT).
(See z/OS MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference.)
- *.stepname.procstepname.ddname
- Refers to a DD statement that defines, as a member of a partitioned
data set (PDS) or a partitioned data set extended (PDSE), the program
to be executed. The DD statement is in a cataloged or in-stream procedure
that is called by an earlier job step. Stepname identifies the EXEC
statement of the calling job step; procstepname identifies the EXEC
statement of the procedure step that contains the DD statement with
ddname in its name field.
Use this form of the parameter when a
previous job step calls a procedure that creates a temporary library
to store a program until it is required.
When referring to a
DD statement, the system does not honor requests for special program
properties as defined in the program properties table (PPT). (See z/OS MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference.)
- JCLTEST (JES3 only)
- JSTTEST (JES3 only)
- Requests that the system scan the step’s job control statements
for syntax errors without executing the job or allocating devices.
JCLTEST or JSTTEST provides for a step the same function as provided
by the JOB statement TYPRUN=SCAN parameter for a job. See z/OS JES3 Commands for details.
Note: JCLTEST
and JSTTEST are supported only in JES3 systems.
