//IMSPASS EXEC PGM=DFSRRC00,PARM=’DLI,IMSPASS, ...’ 
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ims-reslib
//        DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ca-loadlib  (1)
   other private libraries DD statements
//DFSRESLB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ims-reslib
//PRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//TABL00 DD DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),DSN=user.FDT.FILE,
//UNIT=unit,VOL=SER=volser,SPACE=(TRK,(2,1))
