If the targeted platform is a mainframe scheduling system such as CA 7, this value indicates the job name to execute on that platform. If the targeted platform is Workload Automation AE system, this value indicates a job that is defined in the Workload Automation AE system. If this field begins and ends in single quote (') marks, these marks are removed before being passed in the transmission data.

Valid when: job-type is XPJOB or AGENT
Limits: 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters. If this field starts with a numeric value, the value is treated as a JCL Index value (0 - 253 or 256 - 999), and the associated numbered JCL library, as defined in the initialization file JCL statement, is used. If the first character is not numeric, the field must start with an ampersand (&) and must denote the library variable as defined using a /JCL command.
Note: Specifying data in the PARMLIB/MEMBER fields is in addition to anything specified in the XPPARM field. If XPPARM is coded, and if the PARMLIB/Member contains a PARM1 statement, the PARMLIB specification overrides the XP PARM field. Thus, if both XPPARM and PARMLIB PARM1 fields contain data, the data that is obtained from the PARMLIB/MEMBER is used in the data that is transmitted to the target node
