You will see in Chapter 5, "Controlling the Execution of Transaction Programs", 
section "Specific Scheduler JCL Information for TP Profiles", that the JOB 
statement is required and that there is a specific section all about the 
&SYSUID variable.

FWIW, I see that the sample TP model that I preserved from when I used to 
play with APPC/MVS contains a JOB card with nothing but a name.

Prompted by that, I had a look at the section "JOB Statement Restrictions". If 
you take the word "restriction" to mean "don't bother" it becomes 
more "freedoms"!
