Parameter field

The XMIT JCL statement contains only keyword parameters. A DEST parameter is required; the DLM and SUBCHARS parameters are optional. If your JCL is to be processed by an internal reader and /*EOF or /*DEL is part of the XMIT JCL stream, you must code the SUBCHARS parameter.

You can code the keyword parameters in any order in the parameter field.
