Catalog level commands
The catalog level allows the coding of commands common to
several JDEs. A catalog can then be referenced in an INCLUDE
parameter in any following JDE commands. A catalog section of
a JSL begins with the CATALOG command and ends with the
appearance of another CATALOG command or a JOB
command. CATALOG commands may contain the same
commands that appear in the JOB command.
The CATALOG command has the form:
catname
: CATALOG;
The
CATNAME
is a 1 to 6 character alphanumeric identifier, of
which at least one character must be alphabetic. The catalog
name is referenced by JDEs after the CATALOG command set
has been defined.
For example:
POWER: CATALOG;
In this command, POWER is the catalog level identifier to be
used in the INCLUDE parameter of a JOB command. To
reference the catalog named POWER in a job, the job level
command would be:
JOB1: JDE INCLUDE=POWER;
Job or JDE level commands
A JSL contains one or more elements called “jobs” or “Job
Descriptor Entries.” A JDE, along with its system level
commands, describes the options that apply to one printing task.
A JDE contains one input format, one set of processing
instructions, and one set of output instructions. The identifier for
each JDE (job) is a user defined name that you invoke to run the
job.
PDL commands that are coded within the job command level
override the system commands. For each job, values not
specified in any of the command sets are taken from the PDL
defaults. Refer to the “PDL command and DJDE summary” table
in Appendix A for a list of all command defaults.
PDL commands coded at a catalog command level can be
incorporated as shown in the command syntax below.
CATNAME
is a 1 to 6 character alphanumeric identifier of a
previously defined catalog name.
