Question:  What is the purpose and meaning of the REGION keyword and what JCL statement is it associated with?

Answer: REGION specifies the maximum CPU memory allocated for a particular job or job step. If REGION is in the JOB card, it relates to the entire job; if in the EXEC statement, it relates to the job step.
