Explanation

DD statements in JCL have two parameter types: Positional parameters (order matters, like dataset name) and Keyword parameters (identified by keyword=value syntax, like DISP=OLD). This distinction is fundamental to JCL syntax. Positional parameters must appear in specific order, while keyword parameters can appear in any order after positional ones.
