What is the meaning of keyword in JCL? What is its opposite?
Answer / guest
A keyword in a JCL statement may appear in different places
and is recognized by its name, eg. MSGCLASS in the JOB
statement. The opposite is positional words, where their
meaning is based on their position in the statement, eg. in
the DISP keyword the =(NEW,CATLG,DELETE) meanings are based
on first, second and third position.

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.
