Here are top JES2 and JES3 statements frequently being used in JCL Job card.
JES2,JES3 and JES statements
- Under JES2 and JES3, a job stream can also include JES2 or JES3 control statements that influence the way the Job Entry Subsystem processes your job.
- In old projects, you may come across JES control statements in older job streams, and occasionally, they provide for a function that isn’t available in standard JCL.
