To provide an overriding order for the DCB subparameters at execution time, specify the desired sequence in the KEYWORDS DD data set in the following format:

Column Number 1   5
              DCB Keyword1
              DCB Keyword2
              DCB Keywordn

Note: The keyword sequence specified here completely overrides the default sequence provided by JCLNeat.

Keyword subparameters encountered in the original JCL and not specified in this sequence are:

• Alphabetized and placed in the reformatted JCL before the last keyword in the table if it is coded in the original JCL.
• Alphabetized and placed last in the reformatted JCL if the last keyword in the table is not coded in the original JCL.
