Identification of step

A step name is required on only certain EXEC statements. In practice, name all steps. The system uses the step name in messages. If you omit the step name, the system leaves this field blank in messages, making it difficult to decide what step caused each message. A step name is coded:

  
//stepname EXEC  

  
//STEP1    EXEC  PGM=A  
            .  
            .  
//CHECK    EXEC  PROC=MHB15  
            .  
            .  
//A$9      EXEC  PGM=RPTWRT  
            .  
            .  
//MYPROGRM EXEC  PGM=CALC  
            .
