You could argue in favor of some 'basic' set of jobcard parameters, but the
problem for JES2 is the other side of the same coin that gives us the power
through well defined exits to alter most anything in a job stream. Messing
with jobcard syntax might be a bad idea in practice, but it's possible. The
danger of validating a job stream destined for another node is that the
remote system may be capable of handling parameters that the submitting
system cannot. Indeed, the remote node might even *require* parameters that
the submitting node cannot parse.
I don't see a practical way for absolute parse validation in a true
full-function NJE environment. Perhaps validation could be made an option,
either all or nothing, maybe even on a node-by-node basis. Frankly, it
sounds like a lot of trouble (and development rupees) to catch a handful of
occasional problems.

It is my position, that I would like appropriately challenged if one
exists, that JES2 should have "fully" processed the JOB card on the
original system before executing the JES2 command to SEND the JOB. If
the JOB card is syntactically in error, the JOB should be failed on the
system were submitted as would be the case if that were also the
execution system.

Steve Thompson
