Control Statements

Control statements define the AutoEdit environment and control AutoEdit processing.

Control statements can appear anywhere in the JCL member to be submitted. When a control statement is detected in a JCL line (for example, in a JCL remark statement), the line containing the control statement is submitted as part of the job. If the control statement appears in a non-JCL line (for example, a line beginning without a // symbol), the control statement is resolved and the resolved value can be applied to subsequent JCL lines, but the control statement is not submitted as part of the job.

Available control statements are discussed on the following pages.
