MAXIMUM HOW MANY STEPS WE CAN EXECUTE IN ONE JOB?
- A.
254
- B.
255
- C.
250
- D.
256
Correct Answer
B. 255Explanation
The correct answer is 255. This is because the maximum number of steps that can be executed in one job is determined by the maximum value that can be represented by an 8-bit binary number. In binary, the maximum value that can be represented by 8 bits is 255. Therefore, the maximum number of steps that can be executed in one job is 255.Rate this question:

IF TIME PARAMETER CODED IN BOTH THE STATEMENTS?
- A.
JOB OVERRIDE EXEC STATEMENT
- B.
EXEC OVERRIDE JOB STATEMENT
- C.
JOB OVERRIDE DD STATEMENT
- D.
NONE
Correct Answer
B. EXEC OVERRIDE JOB STATEMENTExplanation
The correct answer is "EXEC OVERRIDE JOB STATEMENT". This is because both the "EXEC" and "OVERRIDE" keywords are present in this statement, indicating that it is the only statement that contains both the time parameter and the "OVERRIDE" keyword. The other statements either do not contain the "OVERRIDE" keyword or do not contain the time parameter.Rate this question:

HOW TO ELIMINATE DUPLICATE RECORDS?
- A.
SUM FIELDS=NONE
- B.
SORT FIELDS=NONE
- C.
MERGE FIELDS=NONE
- D.
NONE
Correct Answer
A. SUM FIELDS=NONEExplanation
The "SUM FIELDS=NONE" statement is used in a sort utility to eliminate duplicate records. This statement specifies that no fields should be used for summarization or comparison. Therefore, when the records are sorted, any duplicate records will be eliminated, resulting in a list of unique records.Rate this question:

IF BOTH JOBLIB AND STEPLIB CODED?
- A.
JOBLIB OVERRIDE STEPLIB
- B.
STEPLIB OVERRIDE JOBLIB
- C.
STEPLIB OVERRIDE JCLLIB
- D.
NONE
Correct Answer
B. STEPLIB OVERRIDE JOBLIBExplanation
When both JOBLIB and STEPLIB are coded, the STEPLIB statement will override the JOBLIB statement. This means that the system will prioritize the STEPLIB libraries over the JOBLIB libraries when searching for programs or datasets referenced in the JCL. Therefore, any programs or datasets specified in both JOBLIB and STEPLIB will be taken from the STEPLIB libraries. The JCLLIB statement is not relevant in this scenario and does not affect the override between JOBLIB and STEPLIB.Rate this question:

Marks a deleted DD statement
- B.
Begins an interpreted command stream
- C.
Specifies no space allocation & no disposition processing
- D.
Suppress command processing
Correct Answer
C. Specifies no space allocation & no disposition processingExplanation
The purpose of the DD DUMMY statement is to specify that no space allocation and no disposition processing should be done. This means that the statement does not allocate any resources or perform any actions related to the data definition (DD) statement. It is used when there is a need to include a DD statement for syntax or control purposes, but no actual processing or allocation is required.Rate this question:

How can a job send a status message to a TSO user at the completion of a job ?
- A.
NOTIFY
- B.
CLASS
- C.
STATUS
- D.
USER
Correct Answer
A. NOTIFYExplanation
The correct answer is NOTIFY. NOTIFY is a command used in TSO (Time Sharing Option) to send a status message to a user at the completion of a job. This command allows the job to notify the user about the completion status, such as success or failure, of the job. By using NOTIFY, the job can send a message directly to the TSO user, ensuring that the user is informed about the job's completion status in real-time.Rate this question:

What is the purpose of DD * statement in JCL?
- A.
Begins an input data prompt at the system console
- B.
Begins an in-stream dataset
- C.
Marks the end of a command stream
- D.
Includes all datasets within a naming pattern
Correct Answer
B. Begins an in-stream datasetExplanation
The purpose of the DD * statement in JCL is to begin an in-stream dataset. In-stream datasets are used to provide input data directly within the JCL job stream, instead of referencing an external dataset. The DD * statement allows for the inclusion of data within the JCL itself, making it convenient for small or temporary datasets that do not require separate physical files.Rate this question:
