Using JPn parameters in EXEC PARM for ICETOOL

//stepname EXEC PGM=ICETOOL,PARM='option<,option>...'

option can be JPn"string". JPn"string" options are used to construct DFSORT symbols. Other options are ignored by ICETOOL.

Normal system JCL rules for the EXEC PARM operand apply. In addition:
  • JPn"string" parameters can only be used when ICETOOL is invoked directly (for example, with PGM=ICETOOL), not when ICETOOL is invoked from a program (for example, with LINK EP=ICETOOL).
  • If the length of the EXEC PARM options is greater than the JCL limit of 100 bytes, JPn"string" options will not be processed.
