DUMMY statement is used in JCL to specify the MVS that no
device,disposition and I/O processing is to be done for the
dummy file. It is used in the DD statement in case we want
to refer to some file which does not exists or to refer to
a null file.
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
IS EQUIVALENT TO ........
//STEP01 DD DSN=NULLFILE
