Gil,

I took the "JCL standards" as being site specific.  To use your example, if the 
site has a standard of DISP= being the first parameter on a DD statement, this 
could enforce that.  Placing every parameter on a separate line or making sure 
all the parameters are in the same relative location or starting in the same 
column.  That kind of stuff.

    JED provides complete JCL validation, reformatting
    and enforcement of JCL standards.  ...

What's a "standard"  Suppose a site has a standard for naming job steps.
Can it enforce that?  Or only "standards" in the view of the JED author.

In DD statements I habitually code DISP as the first option.  I may be in a 
minority.  Does JED enforce ordering of options?  Might it require or prohibit 
"DCB=(...)"?  (is ""DCB=(...)" ever needed nowadays?  I still see it coded on 
occasion.)
