In this stage, the validity of the following items is verified:
the JCL used in the job
the syntax of the JES2 or JES3 statements
the syntax of the following IBM utilities: IEBGENER, IEBCOPY, IEHPROGM, IEHLIST, ADRDSSU, IDCAMS, SORT, ICEMAN, SYNCSORT, and IKJEFT01.
the syntax of the aliases of the above IBM utilities. Aliases can be defined in the CTJALUT member. For more information, see Using aliases for utility names.
DB2 subsystem, plan status, and program existence as specified in the TSO DSN command
The verification process continues to the next stage if there are no JCL errors and no JES2 or JES3 syntax errors that would cause JES2 or JES3 to reject the job.
