To answer this question, you need to understand how to terminate an in-stream dataset in programming.

Option A) // - This option is incorrect because the double forward slash (//) is typically used for single-line comments and does not terminate an in-stream dataset.

Option B) //* - This option is incorrect because the combination of double forward slash followed by an asterisk (//*) is also used for commenting out multiple lines of code and does not terminate an in-stream dataset.

Option C) /* - This option is correct because the forward slash followed by an asterisk (/*) is typically used to begin a comment block and can also be used to terminate an in-stream dataset.

Option D) //** - This option is incorrect because the combination of double forward slash followed by two asterisks (//**) is not a standard way to terminate an in-stream dataset.

Option E) none of the above - This option is incorrect because option C, /*, is the correct answer as it is a commonly used way to terminate an in-stream dataset.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C. This option is correct because using /* is the standard way to terminate an in-stream dataset in programming.

To answer this question, you need to understand the purpose of the SYSUT2 parameter in JCLs.

In JCLs, the SYSUT2 parameter is used to specify the output file for utility programs. Utility programs are used for various tasks such as sorting, copying, and formatting data.

Option A) Input file - This option is incorrect because the SYSUT2 parameter is used to specify the output file, not the input file.

Option B) Output file - This option is correct because the SYSUT2 parameter is used to identify the output file for utility programs.

Option C) Temp file - This option is incorrect because the SYSUT2 parameter is used for the output file, not a temporary file.

Option D) None of the above - This option is incorrect because option B is the correct answer.

Therefore, the correct answer is B) Output file. This option is correct because the SYSUT2 parameter in JCLs identifies the output file for utility programs.

To answer this question, we need to understand the syntax of the SORT command. Let's go through each option to determine which one is correct:

Option A) SORT FIELDS = (start-location, end-location, sort sequence, format) - This option is incorrect because the correct syntax for the SORT command does not include a "format" parameter.

Option B) SORT FIELDS = (start-location, length, format, sort sequence) - This option is the correct syntax for the SORT command. The parameters are listed in the correct order: start-location, length, format, and sort sequence.

Option C) SORT FIELDS = (start-location, end-location, sort sequence, length) - This option is incorrect because the "end-location" parameter is not part of the correct syntax for the SORT command.

Option D) SORT FIELDS = (start-location, end-location, length, format) - This option is incorrect because the "end-location" parameter is not part of the correct syntax for the SORT command.

The correct answer is Option B. This option is correct because it follows the correct syntax for the SORT command, including the parameters in the correct order: start-location, length, format, and sort sequence.

To answer this question, let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) IEFBR14 - This option is incorrect. IEFBR14 is a utility program used to create dummy or empty datasets. It does not have the capability to copy sequential files.

Option B) IEBCOPY - This option is incorrect. IEBCOPY is a utility program used to copy or manipulate partitioned datasets (PDS) and partitioned dataset extended (PDSE) files. It is not used to copy sequential files.

Option C) IEBGENER - This option is correct. IEBGENER is a utility program used to copy or generate sequential files. It can be used to copy sequential files from one location to another.

Option D) IEBCOMPR - This option is incorrect. IEBCOMPR is a utility program used to compare two datasets to identify differences. It is not used to copy sequential files.

Option E) None of the above - This option is incorrect. The correct answer is option C) IEBGENER.

The correct answer is C) IEBGENER. This option is correct because IEBGENER is used to copy sequential files.
