Masks: Enter up to four JCL masks that will be performed for this job. For a complete description of JCL masks, refer to the "Special functions in RUNJOB" information in the NUCLEUS user guide. These masks must exist or else the scheduler will be hung up in its call to NU010 and cause performance problems on the rest of the system.
Use File Names: Enter up to eight Use File names that will be performed for this Job ID. Be sure that all jobs launched in any one USE file end with a job echo, code, or priority question (called a "last chance" question), and that all of these last chance questions are ASKMEs. The job will not be likely to launch at the proper time if any last chance question are not ASKME questions. Also, the last chance question should be the only ASKME question for best results. For a complete description of Use Files, refer to the NUCLEUS user guide.
Stream Files: Enter up to six names of flat files to stream when this Job ID is performed.

Under normal circumstances, the user does not enter any information into this field.
