Answer / debasish kumar pothal.

yes, the JCL will throw an error as the 1st line should not
be let blank and there is no job card in the 1st line...
without the job card the JCL cannot run any program.

Answer / stu

"//" with nothing else on the line is a "null" card which
tells the internal reader to stop reading even though there
may be subsequent lines containing text. This will result
in a job with no job card which will cause an error.
