Answer / venkat
it is cheek the execution of the program with out involving
the files
// job1 job
//joblib dd dsn=loadlib,disp=shr
//step1 exec pgm=pgm1
//disk1 dd dummy
//disk2 dd nullfile
when dummy is specified for an input file it treats
that it is an empty file
if dummy is specified for output it nullify all the
