Can anybody please tell me what does main Parameter do?
//*MAIN CLASS=Z1U1
How is the above statement interpreted by the compiler? |

Its not a comment. And if its a comment then why is it written in most of the production jobs and what does it signify?
Thanks |

Hi,
I believe it's a comment only whether it is written on production job or test ones.
But jCl basic rule did not change. |

Hi Radhakrishnan,
Iam not sure about that. I just know that its used in production jobs and is not a comment , as far as my knowledge is concerned.

for example,
//*LOGONID loginidname in JCL is not comment
When you submit the job with this statement,it wont list in the sysout.

| //*ROUTE TO=AD265-SZ |
/*ROUTE TO=AD265-SZ (single slash and *) is the correct one.
//*Main - may be it points to a class parameter in job cards.(am not sure) |

Madhu,
One more info...
//*keywords is a JES2 command basically.Normally JCL checks for JES2 command first.If its not a JES2 command then it takes it as a comment.
Hope this helps. |

From the JCL reference manual 2 things :
(1). //*MAIN defines selected processing parameters for a job, but bear in mind it is a JES3 control statement similar to the /*JOBPARM control statement from JES2. So it is used to specify processing parameters for a job.
(2). The CLASS parameter overrides a JOB statement CLASS parameter.
Hope this helps. |
