//*MAIN

ThruPut Manager supports the presence of JES3 JECL statements in JCL under JES2. DAL/JAL Descriptors detailing the information on these statements have been added. Additionally, some of the functions that the JECL statements provide are supported as follows.

All the keywords coded on a //*MAIN statement can be accessed in DAL/JAL with the appropriately named Descriptors ($JES3_MAIN_...). Additionally, the following //*MAIN parameters are honored by JES2:

  • BYTES
  • CARDS
  • HOLD=YES
  • LINES
  • PAGES
  • PROC
  • SYSTEM
  • USER

Note that the data provided in the PROC keyword parameter causes the job to be re-converted if the procedure library named is not the same as the default JES2 PROCLIB.

The system affinity coded in the SYSTEM keyword is set by ThruPut Manager after analysis has completed. The affinity provided by the SYSTEM keyword is only set if the job’s affinity has not been set from any other source (JAL/JBS BIND).
