If the task is a comparison of two control blocks, this keyword specifies the name of Compare Block 1.

If you specify the DBD keyword, you must also specify the name of the DBD library containing the DBD with one of the following methods:

  • Code the DBDLIB DD statement in the JCL.
  • Code the DBDLIB keyword on the GLBL control statement.
  • Code the DBDLIB keyword on the task control statement.

It is not valid on the other control statements.
