JCLNeat Options › Description of JCLNeat Options › BCI

BCI

The Block Comment Insert (BCI) option specifies whether JCLNeat boxes stand-alone comments in the reformatted JCL. A box is composed of an opening delineation line (defined by the SECC and FCC options), a blank comment line, the stand-alone comment, a blank comment line, and a closing delineation line.

JCLNeat places Column 4 of the original comment in Column 6 of the reformatted comment, followed by the first 65 columns of the original comment.

This option has the following format:

BCI=Y|N

Y

Boxes stand-alone comments in the reformatted JCL. This is the default.

N

Does not box stand-alone comments in the reformatted JCL. Specifying N causes JCLNeat not to produce a box. Specify N to eliminate production of multiple boxes during repeat runs of the JCLNeat utility.

Example: Box a stand-alone comment

This example PARM sets BCI to yes, which produces the boxed JCL that follows:

PARM='BCI=Y,SECC=*,FCC=-'
