Setting up input
parameters
You may want to start by specifying 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.
Following are examples of typical input processing commands.

Specifying LINE
command
parameters
The LINE command references VFUs from the system level and
allows you to instruct the system on which parts of the data in
each record will be printed. For this reason, it typically follows the
RECORD command. For example:
Specifying ACCT
command
parameters
The ACCT command often follows the LINE command and can
be coded into any command level.
ACCT USER=TRAY;
VOLUME HOST=IBMONL, CODE=EBCDIC;
RECORD LENGTH=136;
VOLUME HOST=IBMOS,LABEL=STANDARD,CODE=EBCDIC;
BLOCK LENGTH=2660, PREAMBLE=4, LTHFLD=2,
FORMAT=BIN;
RECORD LENGTH=135, PREAMBLE=4, LTHFLD=2,
STRUCTURE=VB, OFFSET=2, FORMAT=BIN;
LINE DATA=(1,132), PCCTYPE=IBM3211,
PCC=(0,NOTRAN), VFU=VFU1;
