Job statement information

ISPF allows you to submit Batch jobs for printing and language processing. However, before submitting a Batch job, you must supply job statement information. For this purpose, four lines are provided on each job submission panel.

You can use the lines that contain //*:

As continuation lines by removing the asterisk (*)
To enter other JCL statements, such as JOBLIB DD.

If you do not need these lines, you can blank them out. Blank lines are not submitted to the job stream.
