Explanation

The REGION parameter specifies the amount of virtual storage required for execution. It can be coded on the JOB statement (affecting all steps in the job) or on individual EXEC statements (affecting only that specific step). When specified at both levels, the EXEC-level REGION overrides the JOB-level specification for that step.
