Using JCLNeat › Manual Control of JCLNeat › Keyword Reordering

Keyword Reordering

Keyword parameters and their associated data are reordered in the reformatted JCL based on a user-specified sequence, with these exceptions:

• The setting of the JOBF option determines whether the JOB statement has its keywords reordered. Regardless of keyword order, fields, such as the OPERAND field, are still column aligned. Note that the CSECT CAZ1NCJB determines the order of the parameters within the JOB statement.
• Qualified keywords are placed on the reformatted EXEC statement in the same order as they were encountered in the original EXEC and are placed after the ordered keywords.

  JCLNeat is distributed with tables containing a default order (alphabetical) for the EXEC and DD keyword parameters and for the DCB keyword subparameters. You can change these default tables after JCLNeat is installed, or at execution time by specifying a new table sequence in the KEYWORDS DD data set.
