VIRTUAL - Virtual storage means that each running program can assume it has acce
ss to all of the storage defined by the architecture's addressing scheme. The on
ly limit is the number of bits in a storage address. This ability to use a large
number of storage locations is important because a program may be long and comp
lex, and both the program's code and the data it requires must be in central sto
rage for the processor to access them.

USE OF REGION PARAMETER?
REGION = THE REGION PARM SPECIFIES THE AMOUNT OF STORAGE NEEDED BY THE STEP WIT
H THE HIGHEST STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
GENERAL SYNTAX :
REGION=value(K|M}
//TMPASJOB

JOB

,SMITH,REGION=800K

WHEN THE AMOUNT OF STORAGE REQUESTED IN THE REGION PARM IS HIGHER THAN THE ADDRE
SS SPACE CAN PROVIDE, AN ABEND WILL OCCUR
IF REGION=0K(OR 0M) IS CODED, THE ENTIRE ADDRESS SPACE (EXCEPT FOR THOSE AREAS U
SED BY MVS/XA) IS AVAILABLE

Whats the use of JCLLIB / joblib & STEPLIB?
JCLLIB/STEPLIB specifies the private libraries containing the catalogued procedu
res and JCL referred to by Include statements. SET assigns values to symbolic
parameters in catalog procedures, INCLUDE allows JCL stored in partitioned datas
et to be included in the
job stream. IF/THEN/ELSE/END allows selective execution of Job steps. CNTL and E
NDCNTL marks the
start and end of control statements in the input stream. OUTPUT Supplies options
for SYSOUT processing
