Hierarchy within a job descriptor library (JDL)
Figure 2-4 shows a coded JDL that contains four jobs or JDEs. A
command to specify the recording code (CODE parameter of the
VOLUME command) of the input data appears in three places:
•
According to the system command level (or JDL) command set,
the default recording code of the input data is ASCII (VOLUME
CODE=ASCII).
•
According to the catalog command level, the recording code of
the input data is EBCDIC (VOLUME CODE=EBCDIC).
• According to the job or JDE command levels, for jobs one and
three, the recording code of the input data is Printable EBCDIC
(PEBCDIC). The PDL command: VOLUME CODE=PEBCDIC
overrides both catalog and system (or JDL) command level
definitions.
For job descriptor entry 2:JOB;, the recording code of the input data
is EBCDIC, as specified in the CATPOW catalog command. In
4:JOB;, the recording code of the input data is EBCDIC because the
JOB command’s INCLUDE parameter specifies the CATGRP
catalog which, in turn, specifies EBCDIC in the VOLUME command
CODE parameter.
