You have two critical JCL jobs to be executed on a mainframe system, one with a high priority and the other with a low priority. How would you ensure that the high-priority job runs first?
- Use the COND parameter in the high-priority job
- Use the COND parameter in the low-priority job
- Use the EXEC statement with the PRTY parameter
- Use the JOB statement with the PRTY parameter
Using the JOB statement with the PRTY parameter allows you to specify the priority for the entire job. Setting a higher priority for the high-priority job ensures it runs before the low-priority job.
