Optional. Valid values for this parameter are:

• Y – Submit the defined JCL statements as the JCL for the job
• N – Use the JCL in the member identified in the MEMLIB parameter (default)

Under the INSTREAM JCL field is an empty line in which you can type a JCL statement. No JCL statement can contain more than 72 characters, including spaces. When you press Enter, a new line is opened in which another JCL statement can be typed.

You can enter up to 50 lines of JCL statements. The contents of these lines can be edited subsequently.

When the INSTREAM JCL parameter is set to Y, the library and member specified in the job definition are ignored.
