Are these comments germane, not superfluous, assuming a reader not intimately familiar with z/OS internals?:
Hello, MHVRCFs, Concerning z/OS 2.5 MVS JCL Reference IBM SA23-1385-50 Chapter 20. JCLLIB statement • The private library must be cataloged. Is that "cataloged" on the system where this job completed JCL conversion, the system where this job is executing, or other? Is this affected by NJE? If the user specifies both ORDER= and PROCLIB= parameters, are the libraries searched in the order in which those parameters appear? Please provide an example using both those parameters. • The private library must have the same data set attributes as a system library, which are: – Logical record length of 80 bytes (LRECL=80) – Fixed length records (RECFM=F or RECFM=FB). Is this compatible with JCL written to an internal reader with unlike attributes, e.g. SYSOUT=(,INTRDR),RECFM=VB,LRECL=254? The chapter contains a detailed rehash of the syntax of the Name, Operation, and Parameter fields, plus the rules for continuation, similar to those in "Chapter 3. Format of statements". This obliges the conscientious reader to read this section, tediously seeking any deviations from Chapter 3. Please replace most of this redundant material with a (hyperlinked) mention of Chapter 3 with mention of any particular differences. -- Thanks, gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
