$JOB and Simple Jobs

Some jobs are very simple.  For example, print a data set, or copying a file.

At TSO prompt, enter JOL *.  Jol's data entry screen will be presented.

To PRINT a data set, enter 

For example, to print a data set may be coded as:
        PRINT

or    PRINT SYS1.MACLIB(CALL)

Note that entering PRINT with no parameters will show a data entry screen with the allowable parameters displayed.  Many Jol commands do this.
 

The $JOB instruction creates a Job card for background jobs.  It displays many Job parameters that may be filled in. It is automatically invked when Jol is used in interactive mode and no $JOB has been entered by the user..
