A Correct answer
Explanation

In JCL (Job Control Language for IBM mainframes), parameters can be positional or keyword. Positional parameters MUST be coded first and are interpreted based on their order in the statement. Keyword parameters (NAME=value) can come after positional ones and are self-identifying. This ordering rule is mandatory - you cannot place keyword parameters before positional ones.
