Coding the JOB statement for the started task

If you choose to code a started task with a JOB statement, the rules are slightly different than the rules for other jobs:

• The statement must start with //
• The jobname is 1 through 8 non-blank characters
• If a name is not valid, a JCL error results.
• The jobname must be followed by at least 1 blank.
• JOB must follow the blank(s) after the jobname.
• JOB must be followed by at least 1 blank.
