We Use the CNTL parameter to reference a CNTL statement that appears
earlier in the job. The reference causes the subsystem to execute the
program control statements within the referenced CNTL/ENDCNTL group.
The system searches for an earlier CNTL statement with a label that
matches the label in the CNTL parameter. If the system finds no match,
the system issues an error message.
In your JCL statement,
//CALLER DD UNIT=3800-3,CNTL=*.ABLE
Here '*' is 'Referback operator' - for the definition of CNTL it
refers back to the Label ABLEA.
