Job Parameters File​ Data Set Name:                   WS.ES202.LOOKUP Service Center DSN:           YBUssX.A145.LOOKUP ('ss' = State FIPS code) Type of File:                         VSAM indexed File Layout:                          EARJPRM CICS ID:                               ES2LKUP  (EssLKUP for Service Center; 'ss' = State Postal Abbreviation) The Job Parameters File is an alias of the Lookup File, but is updated separately.  It is also known as the Survey Log File.  The job parameters records used here are entered and updated through the EARN transaction, which uses one screen for each batch job that requires program parameters. Every parameter-using batch job in EARS uses a common program (EARUT19) to reformat the Job Parameter data into a Program Parameters File.  The converted file will include the Job ID at the beginning of each record, followed by the last four characters of the program ID referenced.  This, in turn, is followed by the parameters relating to the particular referenced program.  Once the conversion has been enacted, the Job Parameters record no longer needs to be accessed directly, as the parameters for other programs in the job stream are drawn from the Program Parameters File.​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​
