Parameters

parmlist | (r1)
This operand specifies a 16-byte parameter list. The format of the list is described below. In your program, you must set up the list before you issue the macro. If the parameter list name is specified, the system loads the address into register 1. If a register is specified, it is assumed to contain the address of the parameter list and this address is loaded into register 1. If no operand is specified, register 1 is assumed to contain the address of the parameter list. The format of this list is:
Bytes
Contents
0-1
Always 0.
2-3
Device address in hexadecimal format.
4-7
Device address in EBCDIC format.
8-15
Job name (left justified).
Assume the device at address 280 is to be closed and the name of the job is JOB. The parameter list then contains: 
  00 00 02 80  F0 F2 F8 F0  D1 D6 C2 40  40 40 40 40
