Job control statements on the output listing

Use the JOB statement MSGLEVEL parameter to request that job control statements be printed in the job log output listing. Code MSGLEVEL=(1,1) to receive the maximum amount of information, in the following order:

JES messages and job statistics.
All job control statements in the input stream and procedures.
Messages about job control statements.
JES and operator messages about the job's processing: allocation of devices and volumes, execution and termination of job steps and the job, and disposition of data sets.

Statements in listing: To identify the source and type of each statement, the system prints certain characters in columns 1 and 2 or 1, 2, and 3 of the listing. These identifying characters are explained in Table 1. The listing shows all procedure statements as they appear in the cataloged procedure; the listing does not show parameter substitutions and overrides on the statement itself.

Symbolic parameters: The job log listing shows the symbolic parameters in procedure statements. The values assigned to the parameters are given in IEF653I messages. These messages appear immediately after each statement that contains symbolic parameters.

EXEC overriding parameters: A procedure EXEC statement appears in the job log listing exactly as it appears in the procedure. Overridden parameters must be shown by the program being executed:

For the EXEC statement that executes the assembler program, the Diagnostic Cross Reference and Assembler Summary produced by the assembler program shows the overriding parameters.
For the EXEC statement that executes the linkage editor, the linkage editor listing shows the overriding parameters.
