Parameter definition

DDNAME=ddname

Specifies the name of the in-stream data set that follows the //*DATASET statement.

MODE=E

MODE=C

Defines the card-reading mode.

E: Indicates that JES3 is to read the statements as EBCDIC with validity checking. E is the default if the MODE parameter is omitted.
C: Indicates that JES3 is to read the statements in card image form, that is, in column binary or data mode 2.
MODE=C is not valid for jobs read from disk or tape, or for jobs submitted from remote work stations.

J=YES

J=NO

Indicates how JES3 is to recognize the end of the data set.

If you specify MODE=C, JES3 ignores the J parameter; therefore, use a //*ENDDATASET statement to end the data set

YES: Indicates that a //*ENDDATASET statement ends the data set. Specify YES when JOB statements appear in the data set.
NO: Indicates that a JOB statement ends the data set. NO is the default if the J parameter is omitted, unless MODE=C is specified.

CLASS=NO

CLASS=MSGCLASS

CLASS=class

Identifies the output class JES3 is to use for the data set.

NO: Indicates that the system is to assign an output class. If you omit the CLASS parameter, the default is NO.
MSGCLASS: Requests the output class in the MSGCLASS parameter on the JOB statement.
class: Specifies the output class.
