validates the JOB command and, if the job is legitimate, copies the job
input records to disk. EXEC means that the job is executing. SUSP means
that the job or session is suspended, because table entries or system
resources are unavailable. WAIT means that there are no available list
devices for the job. WAIT has the following subparameters:
N Displays the status of nondeferred READY device files.
D Displays the status of deferred READY device files.

information for more than one device file is displayed, output is in Type I followed by Type
II format. (Format types are described under "Operation Notes.")
