Some parameters have sub-parameters. These can be both positional or keyword sub-parameters. Suppose TU00001 is the programmer’s name, ATUT000 is the programmer's account number and it is a default value. Given this information, which statements are correct:

technology mainframe

  1. //TU00001T JOB (ATUT000,,,,,,,,),TU00001,CLASS=7,MSGCLASS=X

  2. //TU00001T JOB (ATUT000),’TU00001’,CLASS=7,MSGCLASS=X

  3. //TU00001T JOB TU00001,’(ATUT000)’,CLASS=7,MSGCLASS=X

  4. //TU00001T JOB ,(ATUT000),CLASS=7,MSGCLASS=X
