One reason - the job's submitter may be trying to run his work at lower  cost 
than the correct job class would cost, assuming a job-class-based  
charge-back policy is in effect.  I heard long ago about a user who was  
printing free 
copies of a large document by submitting the document as comment  statements 
with a deliberate JCL error.  MVS would then list all JCL,  including what was 
really his text, and not charge him for either running the  job that failed due 
to a JCL error or printing the "error" listing.  He was  eventually found 
out.  But this could be an urban legend.  Sounded  cool at the time, anyway.
