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.
