Use the CIPARM statement to specify the options to be used by the MVS™ converter/interpreter (C/I). These options are used as system defaults applied to certain JCL statement parameters and other options for jobs scheduled on any main.

For jobs submitted to a node for execution through NJE, the CIPARM statement with PARMID=01 is always used to supply the default values. If no CIPARM PARMID=01 statement is explicitly coded, the statement default as identified in the Statement Summary section is used. These default values can be overridden by explicitly coding a CIPARM statement with PARMID=01.
