Place the //*MAIN statement for a job after the JOB statement and before the first EXEC statement.

When you specify ORG on a //*MAIN statement, place the //*MAIN statement before all //*FORMAT statements that do not contain a DEST parameter. If JES3 does not process the ORG parameter before the //*FORMAT statements, JES3 uses the default destination for the //*FORMAT statements; their output is sent to the node where the job entered the system.
