Explanation

The //CNTL statement in JCL marks the beginning of one or more JCL control statements that will be interpreted by the system. It is used to introduce a section of control statements that need to be processed together. It is not specifically for identifying control card libraries (that would be different JCL constructs) or for delimiting PROC definitions (which use other statements).
