  //             FDD=D,
  //             FDP=D,
  //             FDT=D,
  //             FSI=,
  //             FSO=,
  //             G010=(+1),    - flagged as error
  //             G020=(+1),    - flagged as error

Problem summary

• If EXEC parameter names used reserved keywords such as 'JOB' and
   'OUTPUT', the IBM z/OS Explorer JCL editor flagged them as
  syntax errors.
  

Problem conclusion

• The IBM z/OS Explorer JCL parser has been updated.
  
  The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
