Overview
1.12 Hints and Tips
The following tips may help you as you create your JSL:
•
The only required elements in a JSL are the following:
•
A JDL name, which is the name of the entries created by compiling the JSL
•
Job names
•
END; command at the end of the JSL.
•
System defaults could be used for all other specifications, although typically each ap-
plication has its own specific characteristics.
•
Use tab spacing to create columns for each element of the JSL: command identifiers,
commands, and parameters. While not required by the system, this organization makes
it much easier to identify command sets, their commands, and each command's param-
eters quickly. Here is a short example:
SMPLST:
V1:
T1:
C1:
CME1:
JOB1:
JOB2:
JOB3:
END;
•
If you are not sure which specifications to select, try running a job using the system de-
faults and then adjust the JSL to meet your requirements. You can modify an existing
JSL in the same manner.
•
Keep the hierarchy of replacement, described earlier in mind. It is much easier to spec-
ify generic or global characteristics at the system level, for example, than to call the
same specifications out over and over again for each job or catalog.
