Job Steps:

Before each step in a multiple step job place a comment indicating the purpose of the step.

Where appropriate, code ACCOUNT= or MEMBER= on the EXEC statement.

Avoid unnecessary COND= parameters. When used, place COND= parameters on a continuation of the EXEC statement.

Where appropriate, code the VER= parameter on the EXEC statement.

Where appropriate, code the TBLVER= parameter on the EXEC statement. TBLVER= should be the last parameter on the EXEC statement.

When a QSAM file has been updated and requires a backup, place the backup as a step in the same job.
