Control statements (JCL and control statements)
Format
The format of control statements in the CAPSYSIN data set follows the format of IDCAMS and TSO statements. A control statement begins with a command, followed by required and optional keywords.
CAPSYSIN DD statement
On the CAPSYSIN DD statement, use an asterisk if control statements immediately follow. If a data set contains the control statements, use the data set name.
//CAPSYSIN DD DSN=datasetname,DISP=SHR
Include the control statement and keywords. The control statements and allowable keywords for each are discussed in this section. Detailed information on all keywords is in CAPSYSIN-keywords.
Comments
If necessary, you can also include comments on a control statement.Comments consist of an alphanumeric character string beginning with a slash asterisk (/*) and ending with an asterisk slash (*/). The Change Accumulation utility assumes a comment has ended if it reaches the end of the statement before it encounters the asterisk slash (*/) and if the last character in the statement is not a continuation character. Do not place the comment start characters (/*) in column 1.
