Hierarchy of replacement

Non-JDL hierarchy — START command

The next level of command replacement above the JOB or JDE
command (as illustrated in figure 2-6) is the START command.
Values specified in the START parameter override those in the job
command level. When the COPIES parameter is specified in the
START command, it overrides a DJDE value for COPIES from the
input data stream.

START command

The START command is used to initiate printing of the application
you have created. The options shown below vary depending on the
input source and the output destination. The offline and online
START command formats are as follows:

Offline

START [[

jde] [,[jdl] [,[S

|

M] [,[

copies] [,[REPORTS:r

,r

,...]

[,,TD

n]

[DISC:

Online

START [[

jde] [,[jdl] [,,[copies] [,FORM=form]]]]

Restrictions

Note the following restrictions:

The START command parameters are positional and must be
separated by commas. You must enter a comma to replace a
parameter that is not specified. The options you specify in the
START command override those specified in the job descriptor
library.
