JCL and PARM Data Maintenance › SASSJCLU - JCL Utility › Control Statement

Control Statement

The SYSIN DD statement is required only if a control statement is to be supplied. If the SYSIN statement is not used, all members are selected. The control statement format, starting in position 1 is:

1
NAMEKEY=xxxxxxxx

where:

xxxxxxxx

Is a JCL member name, up to eight characters, or the first part of a JCL member name (generic selection). Generic selection here does not use an asterisk to indicate the end of the common characters. All JCL members whose first characters match the characters specified are subject to the operations specified by the PARM selection.

Note: Care must be taken if member names with fewer than eight characters are used. For example, if a member name is four characters, and they are the same as the first four characters of an eight-character member name, both are considered.

Only one control statement is allowed per each execution of SASSJCLU.
