Hi arrbee,
I think
//jobname job
is more than enought to run a job...
No need to mention rest parameters...

corrections are welcome
Thanks,

One job card and one EXEC card. If you submit is job with just a job card in it then it will get flushed.

Of course of submitting form TSO and the system is set up to do it then you just need an EXEC card as TSO SUBMIT process will add a default job card in that case.
AM guessing that you want to know the theoretical minimuym and not the practical one.

BTW there is no such thing as a 'dummy utility'

exec is also not needed..
just a job card will do

[bnirmalraj]

job card and exec statement is alone required to run a job

//job card
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//
