Setting up input parameters

Next, you may want to specify the input data characteristics for the
application. The basic input processing commands are BLOCK,
CODE, PCC, RECORD, TCODE, and VOLUME. Input processing
characteristics vary depending on the data source. For example, if
your JSL is for an online application, the BLOCK command is not
applicable. Also, parameters within a command may apply to offline
only, online only, or both. For example, with the VOLUME command,
the parameters CODE and HOST can apply to both online and
offline, EOV applies only to offline applications, and OPTIMIZE
applies only to online applications.

The following is a sample of typical offline commands:

/*System level commands*/

VOLUME HOST=IBMOS,
LABEL=STANDARD,
CODE=EBCDIC,
PLABEL=YES;
BLOCK LENGTH=2660,
PREAMBLE=4, LTHFLD=2,
FORMAT=BIN;
RECORD LENGTH=136,
PREAMBLE=4,
STRUCTURE=VB,
LTHFLD=2, OFFSET=0,
FORMAT=BIN;

Specifying LINE command parameters

The LINE command references VFUs from the ID level and allows
you to instruct the system on which parts of the data in each record
are to be printed. For this reason, it typically follows the RECORD
command. For example:

LINE DATA=(1,132),
PCCTYPE=ANSI,
PCC=(0,NOTRAN),
VFU=VFU1;

Specifying ACCT command parameters

The ACCT command often follows the LINE command and, as with
the other commands mentioned above, the ACCT command can be
coded into any command level. Here, it accompanies the other
system level commands:

ACCT USER=TRAY;
