what is the meaning of keyword in jcl?what is is opposite?

Answer Posted / preeti shinde

In JCl there are two types of parameter:
1- positional parameter. 2-keyword parameter.

positional parameter : in this there are two prarameters
i.e., accounting information and programmer name these two
parameters are mandatory. positional parameter are
identified by there position so they should be coded in
specific order. these are coded after operation field..

keyword parameters: these are coded after the positional
parameter and there is no specific order so we can code in
any order.
