Syntax

Subparameter definition:
pano
Specifies the programmer’s accounting number. pano is 1 through 4 alphanumeric characters.
room
Specifies the programmer’s room number. room is 1 through 4 alphanumeric characters.
time
Specifies the estimated execution time in minutes. time is 1 through 4 decimal numbers. For example, code 30 for 30 minutes. If you omit a time subparameter and a TIME parameter on the JES2 /*JOBPARM statement, JES2 uses an installation default specified at initialization. If job execution exceeds the time, JES2 sends a message to the operator.
lines
Specifies the estimated line count, in thousands of lines, from this job’s sysout data sets. lines is 1 through 4 decimal numbers. For example, code 5 for 5000 lines. If you omit lines, JES2 uses an installation default specified at initialization.
cards
Specifies the estimated number of cards JES2 is to punch from this job’s sysout data sets. cards is 1 through 4 decimal numbers. If you omit cards, JES2 uses an installation default specified at initialization.
forms
Specifies the forms that JES2 is to use for printing this job’s sysout data sets. forms is 1 through 4 alphanumeric characters. For example, code 5 for 5-part forms. If you omit forms, JES2 uses an installation default specified at initialization.
copies
Specifies the number of times JES2 is to print and/or punch this job’s sysout data sets. copies is 1 through 3 decimal numbers not exceeding an installation-specified limit. The maximum is 255. For example, code 2 for two copies. If you omit copies, JES2 assumes one copy.

The copies subparameter is ignored and only one copy is produced if the output class for the job log, as specified in the JOB MSGCLASS parameter, or the output class of any of the job’s system output data sets is a held class.

log
Specifies whether or not JES2 is to print the job log. Code N to request no job log. If you code any other character or omit this subparameter, JES2 prints the job log. If your installation specified NOLOG for this job’s class during JES2 initialization, JES2 will not print a job log.
linect
Specifies the number of lines JES2 is to print per page for this job’s sysout data sets. linect is 1 through 3 decimal numbers. When you send a data set across a network, linect cannot exceed 254. When you print the data set locally, linect cannot exceed 255. If you omit linect, JES2 uses an installation default specified at initialization. If you code a zero, JES2 does not eject to a new page when the number of lines exceeds the installation default.
Invalid subparameters: Your installation can initialize JES2 to do one of the following if the accounting information contains subparameters that are invalid to JES2:
  • Ignore the invalid subparameters.
  • Terminate the job. In this case, JES2 requires the first two subparameters: pano and room.
Overrides: A parameter on any of the following statements overrides an equivalent accounting information subparameter on the JOB statement:
  • JOB statement
  • JES2 /*JOBPARM statement
  • JES2 /*OUTPUT statement
  • OUTPUT JCL statement
  • DD statement
