And, BTW, the DD statement is called "DLBL" in VSE.
And yes, it is coded before the EXEC statement.
Kind regards

VSE has had JCL "GOTO" since "whenever", but JES2 did not have it

Perhaps not even yet. I can't find GOTO in the JCL Ref. What JES2
manual should
I search. Can you code loops with it?
No.
VSE's GOTO can only be used to GO forward.
If the target of GOTO is not unique in the job stream
(which in our case - CA VOLLIE - can easily occur, because
jobs can contain sub-jobs via -INC and the sub-jobs can
have GOTOs, too, maybe with the same labels)
then GOTO goes to the next matching label :-)
GOTO, BTW, is very helpful, if you have a large job which ABENDs
somewhere
in the middle, and you have to restart it later at a certain step :-)
HTH, kind regards
