Description

The JOBSTEP parameter will have a blank value unless you are executing a JCL PROC.

When Model 204 runs as part of a JCL PROC, and you execute the same JCL PROC repeatedly in a given JCL stream, you can identify each JCL PROC by its JOBSTEP value.

JOBSTEP: the JOBSTEP name on the EXEC JCL card that runs the JCL PROC.

STEPNM (if JOBSTEP is not blank): the name on the EXEC JCL card that specifies the module name in the PGM=JCL parameter.

Example:

//PROCNM PROC ZGM=ONLINE //ONLINE EXEC PGM=&ZGM, <<<<< STEPNM parameter value .... // PEND //JOBSTNM EXEC PROCNM ZGM=ONLINE <<<< JOBSTEP parameter value .... V JOBSTEP JOBSTEP JOBSTNM JOB STEP NAME V STEPNM STEPNM ONLINE STEP NAME

The JOBSTEP parameter also appears in the informational message M204.0061 during system initialization.
