Note: The command and operand combinations listed in these topics are supported unless indicated as "parsed but not processed". Where indicated, this means:
  • Parsed but not processed - indicates that the command and the operand are not supported, however, Enterprise Developer parses it and, if it fails validation, a JCL error is generated.
  • Parsed but not processed* - indicates that a number of the operands for JCL and POWER commands (for example, any tape or volume-specific operands) do not apply in the Enterprise Developer environment. See General Differences.
