Many years ago when Converting a DDA system from Burroughs to IBM, Burroughs

the fieldinstead of the end of the field like IBM.

My memories of VSE JCL are dated, and quite possbily incorrect with current
VSE, but I recall that I felt it was more complicated that MVS jcl. It had
more types of statements (although fewer parms per type), JOB, * $$ JOB,
UPSI, OPTION, LIBDEF, PAUSE, and EXEC statements. To describe a d
