Just a quick comment. The IKJPOSIT has the following statement in the manual
The order in which you code the macros for positional operands is the order in which the Parse Service Routine expects to find the positional operands in the command string. Which would lead one to say, positional first, and keywords second. I would think that maybe IBM should provide a clearer statement in the TSO SERVICES Manual. This is also shown by the syntax display which has the positional operands first and the keywords second.
