Keyword Ordering (JCK0215)

The Keyword Ordering panels set the defaults for ordering the keywords that can be used in JCL for the JCL TYPE commands of EXEC, DD, DCB, OUTPUT, PRINTDEV, and PROC.

Each JCL TYPE has its own panel showing its related keywords. The keywords are ordered by assigning a unique (for that JCL TYPE) number in the range of 01-99. The numbers need not be sequential, but must not be duplicated or an error results in the occurrence of the duplicated number. Keywords which are not assigned an ordering number fall behind those assigned in the order they are encountered during the 'neating" process.

In the example following, the keywords encountered for the EXEC statement (the defaulted starting point) are ordered PARM, COND, REGION, and TIME, followed by all the remaining keywords in the order encountered. These orders are used as defaults for subsequent Submit mode processing, unless overridden during the Submit mode process.

The JCL TYPE for selection of keywords displayed is entered on the COMMAND line. It is a number in the range of 1-6. When the display returns, the current JCL TYPE appears in the field labeled THIS SEL and the previously selected JCL TYPE appears in the field labeled LAST SEL. The appropriate keywords for that JCL TYPE appear to the right.

To be consistent, the same DO YOU WISH TO MAKE THESE SELECTIONS PERMANENT? message appears as it would in Submit mode, but here it is defaulted to Y and cannot be modified.
