I have a JCL containig following lines. Please refer to the second statement of the code, any idea what it does?

Dear all,
I have found out the answer. Here is the description of the same.
The code in question was:
#JI,ID=1
//STEP02 EXEC NAJ083,
// NAP186=NAP186SV,NAP186L='SYS2.PCIMPL.LINKLIB',
//* other job statements
#JI,ID=2
//STEP02 EXEC NAJ083,
//* other job statements
#JI,ID=3
//STEP02 EXEC NAJ083,
//* other job statements
#JEND
//*** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * **
Now as you can all see that STEP02 is being executed based on the value of ID parameter. Now what does #JI do?

The answer is:
'#JI' is a CA7 thing, so that the JCL between the #'s executes when the job is run with Schedule ID = 1. Unless your JCL scanners have exits to handle this stuff, it'll probably appear to be a JCL error, but would execute properly through CA7. CA7 as you must be knowing is a job scheduling tool in mainframes.
