Answer / venkat

without specifying the value put a comma(,).

Ex:

//job00001 job ,,notify=&sysuid

Answer / nikita kekre

To avoid positional parameters,mark their presence with the
help of comma.
eg in Jobcard if i dnt wanna code accounting info and
programmer's name(both r positional parameters thn i cn
simple use commas)
//t12344J JOB ,,CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=A,NOTIFY=&SYSUID

Answer / pratim dasgupta

if only keyword parameters are coded! no need to give comma
even. if even one positional parameter is coded then comma
is necessary!!

1) Is CLASS used for assigning Priority (as we say a job having class '6' will run before the job having class '5'? then what is the difference between CLASS and PRTY ? 2) In a same JCL, 2 JOB statements with different Classes and NO PRTY are submitted ? which will run first ? & with different classes and different PRTY also, which will run first now ?
