True. As I recall from looking at the JES2 source long ago, a START command (SUB=JES2 version) had a "hard coded" job card put as the first JCL card, followed by a // EXEC PROC=stcname. This was fed to the converter/interpreter to create the internal text. Then a special "initiator" was started which did a "request job by job number" to run the STC.
This is according to my organic memory module, which is suffering ECC checks any more, so I may be off a bit (or maybe even a byte).
