Text Format for JDT-defined JCL

JDT-defined verbs
```
//OUTPUT1 OUTPUT  .....
```

Verb Key	Number Parameters	Verb Length	Verb	Label Length	Label
BE	02	06	OUTPUT	07	OUTPUT1

- The JDT-defined verb is the first parameter on the verb key (X'BE').
- The statement label is the second parameter on the verb key (X'BE').
JDT-defined keywords
```
//DD1     DD  ACCODE=A
```

Long Parameters: The length of some parameters, such as a pathname for an hierarchical file, can be up to 255 bytes. Any parameter with a maximum length that is over 127 bytes is represented in the key entry format as a subparameter list within the key for the parameter. Each subparameter has a maximum length of 127 bytes.

The PATH parameter is used to specify the pathname:

   //ddname DD PATH=pathname

Example 1: In the following example, the PATH parameter has 6 characters:

 //DD2  DD PATH='/name1'

Even though the pathname parameter is only 6 bytes, it must be represented as a subparameter list because the maximum length of the pathname can be 255 bytes.

Table 1. Text Format for Long Parameters: Example 1
Key	Number Parameters	Key Length	JDT-Defined Key for Specified Keyword	Number Sub-parameters	Parameter Length	Parameter Value
1A	02	02	X'8017'	81	6	X'61D5C1D4C5F1'

Example 2: In this example, the PATH parameter has 130 characters:

 //DD2 DD PATH='/NAME11111/NAME22222/NAME33333/NAME44444/NAME55555/NAME6
 //             6666/NAME77777/NAME88888/NAME99999/NAME00000/NAME11111/N
 //             AME22222/NAME33333'

It would be represented as shown in Table 2.

Table 2. Text Format for Long Parameters: Example 2
Key	Number Parameters	Key Length	JDT-Defined Key for Specified Keyword	Number Sub-parameters	Parameter Length	Parameter Value
1A	02	02	X'8017'	82	7F	X'61D5C1D4C5F1F1F1F1F1,,,61D5C1D4C5F3F3'
					03	X'F3F3F3'

Because only 127 characters can fit in a single subparameter field, the parameter must be represented as two subparameters. Therefore, the Num of Subparameters field is 82.

The first subparameter is X'7F' (127 decimal) bytes long, and its value in the C/I text is the hex string representing the first 127 characters of the PATH parameter value in the JCL.
The second subparameter is 3 bytes long, and its value in the text is the hex string representing the last 3 bytes of the PATH parameter value.

Pre-MVS/ESA SP 4.1: For JCL converted on a pre-MVS/ESA SP 4.1 system, the JDT-defined keyword is the first parameter on the JDT key (X'1A').

Key	Number of Parameters	Keyword Length	Keyword	Parameter Length	Parameter
1A	02	06	ACCODE	01	A

The parameter on the JDT-defined keyword is the second parameter on the JDT key (X'1A').

MVS/ESA SP 4.1: For JCL converted on an MVS/ESA SP 4.1 system, the JDT-defined key for the specified JDT keyword is the first parameter on the JDT key (X'1A'). For JDT-defined keywords on the DD statement, refer to the macro IEFSJKEY. For JDT-defined keywords on the OUTPUT statement, refer to the macro IEFDOKEY.

Key	Number of Parameters	Key Length	JDT-Defined Key for the Specified Keyword	Parameter Length	Parameter
1A	02	02	X'8001'	01	A

The parameter on the JDT-defined keyword is the second parameter on the JDT key (X'1A').
