Name field

A name is optional on the PEND statement. If used, code it as follows:

• The name must begin in column 3.
• The name is 1 through 8 alphanumeric or national ($, #, @) characters.
• The first character must be alphabetic or national ($, #, @).
• The name must be followed by at least one blank.
• The name may be preceded by up to 8 alphanumeric or national characters, and then separated by a period. Coding the name in this way should not be confused with specifying an override, as can be done when coding DD statements.
