JCLNeat Options › Description of JCLNeat Options › CEC

CEC

The Continuation End Column (CEC) option specifies the ending column number to use on a JCL statement. If additional keywords exist on the input JCL statement, CA JCLCheck generates continuation lines.

This option has the following format:

CEC=column-number

column-number

Defines a column from 4 to 71. The default is Column 35.

Additionally, the following statement level options for each specific JCL statement are available:

• CECJ—for JOB statements
• CECEX—for EXEC statements
• CECDD—for DD statements
• CECIF—for IF/ELSE/ENDIF statements
• CECIN—for INCLUDE statements
• CECJL—for JCLLIB statements
• CECOP—for OUTPUT statements
• CECPR—for PROC/PEND statements
• CECS—for SET statements
• CECCN—for CNTL/PRINTDEV/ENDCNTL statements

If a statement level option is not specified, JCLNeat uses the associated global option value. If a statement level option is specified, this value overrides the associated global option value.

Note: JCLNeat attempts to divide the parameter at a logical point such as, a comma, when PACK=1 and the data portion of the keyword exceeds CEC. PACK=1 means only one keyword parameter per reformatted JCL statement line. If you cannot divide the keyword parameter, the data exceeds CEC. When the data exceeds column 71, JCLNeat backspaces the keyword start (CSC) until it can contain the entire keyword on the JCL statement line.
