Job entry control language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Job Entry Control Language (JECL) defines the start and end lines of JCL jobs. It advises VSE/POWER how this job is handled. JECL statements define the jobname (used by VSE/POWER), the class in which the job is processed, and the disposition of the job (i.e. D, L, K, H). JECL statements start with "* $$".

An example would be:

* $$ JOB JNM=NAME,DISP=K,CLASS=2

[some JCL statements here]

* $$ EOJ
