Which of the following statements are true for parameters coded on the JOB statement:

  1. When TIME is added to a JOB statement, the entire job run time is limited to that amount

  2. When REGION=0 is coded, the job will not execute due to the fact that no working storage

  3. The COND parameter on JOB level will place the same condition on every EXEC statement,

  4. TYPRUN=SCAN means that the entire JCL script will be checked for syntax and value


Correct Option: A,C

AI Explanation

To answer this question, let's go through each statement and determine if it is true or false:

A. When TIME is added to a JOB statement, the entire job run time is limited to that amount. This statement is true. When the TIME parameter is specified on the JOB statement, the job's execution time is limited to that amount. If the time limit is exceeded, the job will be terminated.

B. When REGION=0 is coded, the job will not execute due to the fact that no working storage. This statement is false. When REGION=0 is coded on the JOB statement, it sets the region size for the job to zero. This means that the job will bypass any region checks, allowing it to execute even if there is no working storage available. However, the job may face issues due to lack of sufficient memory.

C. The COND parameter on JOB level will place the same condition on every EXEC statement. This statement is true. The COND parameter on the JOB statement allows you to specify a condition that applies to all subsequent EXEC statements within the job. If the condition evaluates to false, the associated EXEC statement will not be executed.

D. TYPRUN=SCAN means that the entire JCL script will be checked for syntax and value. This statement is false. TYPRUN=SCAN is used to perform a syntax check on the JCL script, but it does not check for the validity of values or perform value substitutions. The purpose of TYPRUN=SCAN is to identify any syntax errors in the JCL without actually executing the job.

Therefore, the correct statements are: A. When TIME is added to a JOB statement, the entire job run time is limited to that amount. C. The COND parameter on JOB level will place the same condition on every EXEC statement.

The correct answer is A,C.
