IBM System/360 20 User Manual

The job control statements are submitted to
the Job Control program to request func-
tions of this program.
The formats and functions of the job
control statements used with the Model 20
Tape ~rogramming System are described
below.
The following notation is used in the
format description:
1. Upper case words or letters must appear
in the control statement exactly as
given in the description of the format.
2. Lower case words or letters represent
information to be supplied by the pro-
grammer or operator. Their meaning is
described in the text immediately fol-
lowing the format description.
GENERAL FORMAT OF JOB CONTROL STATEMENTS
Any job control statement contains
• a name,
• an operation code,
• one or more operands (if required) ,
• comments (optional).
All job control statements are identified
by two slashes (II) in columns 1 and 2
(name field), followed by at least one
blank column.
The type of control statement is defined by
the operation code. The codes and their
meaning are summarized in Figure 50. The
operation code determines which function of
the Job Control program is requested. The
last character of the code must be followed
by at least one blank.
Most of the job control statements require
some additional information (operands). If
a control statement contains more than one
operand, each operand is separated from the
following one by a comma. The last char-
acter of an operand (or group of operands)
must be followed by at least one blank.
Comments may be used in any of the job con-
trol statements. At least one blank column
must separate the operand(s) or, if the
statement does not contain any operands,
the operation code, from the comments.
