Positional Parameter: where the position of the parameters
cannot be changed and it has to follow as it is..
eg: let us say a,b,c are the parameters in jobcard

correct: //jobname job a,b,c
incorrect: //jobname job b,a,c
//jobname job a,c,b

Keyword parameter: where the position of the parameters be
changed/or an optional. Can be placed after Positional
parameters, if req.

eg: let us say a,b are positional parameters
c,d are keyword parameters

correct: //jobname job a,b,c,d
//jobname job a,b,d,c

incorrect: //jobname job a,c,b,d
//jobname job c,d,a,b

//jobname job acct-info(PP), 'pgrname'(PP),
// RESTART(KP), TYPRUN(KP), TIME(KP),
// REGION(KP)
