Yeah, I kind of knew that ;-) I was trying to come
up with the best joke I could. If this is not it, I have
no clue what could be funny about JCL ;-)
bundles are implemented by here documents,
and the end marker for the document must not appear
in the data, and IBM JCL syntax (even if it were strictly correct)
was unlikely to appear on Unix systems
but would still have a cheery familiarity to some.
the elaborate DD statement defines file associations for a job and
can manipulate permanent files (commonly used with IEFBR14)
Now this does make sense.
Thanks,
Roman.
