1) Is CLASS used for assigning Priority (as we say a job having class '6' will run before..

Answer / archana

Class is used by the initiators to pick a job from the
input queue. If there are 2 jobs with the same Class in the
input queue, then the initiator will execute the jobs based
on the priority.

1) Is CLASS used for assigning Priority (as we say a job having class '6' will run before..

Answer / prachi.

1)If there are two jobs with the same class, PRTY will
decide which job has to execute first.Job with the highest
priority will be executed first than the job with lowest
priority
2)If in the same JCL two jobs with No PRTY submitted in
that case..execution of the job depends on class
parameter...that is class will decide the priority
3)we will not be using the PRTY parameter if the class is
different..The use of PRTY is only when the jobs has same
job class..

1) Is CLASS used for assigning Priority (as we say a job having class '6' will run before..

Answer / saisankar

if there are 2 jobs with the same class then it will check
for 'prty ' parameter.based on the prty it will submits.

if we are not coded any 'prty' paramater then which job
goes first time that will be executed.

for better understanding

class = a (2min) ,b (3min) , c (4min)

to separate the jobs based on the cpu time
consumed.installation dependent.

If a field is declared as a comp-3 field and if we want to sort a dataset based on this field, then how will the sort card be??? e.g- if we want to sort by a field which is defined as a PIC X(5) then we will mention - sort fields=(1,5,ch,a). Likewise if a field is defined as PIC S9(10)COMP-3 then in this case how will the sort field be defined (because in this case a sign is also involved)???

I have a Symbolic Parameter which can have a value say 01 or 02 etc. Now consider i have another Symbolic parameters which is used to get 3 digit code of months (JAN, FEB, etc) but for that i need to check the first symbolic parameter's value and provide its corresponding month's name in the second symbolic parameter. Say IF sym1 = 01 then sym2='Jan' ENDIF etc... In JCL, IF condition is used for RC, ABEND purposes of a step etc. When i use Symbolic parameter in IF clause it is showing Error message. Is there a way to get the above result possible in JCL. If you could provide me with an example, i would understand it better.
