    NUM=BATCH/COMPIL,'PGM1','PGM2','PGM3'

The array NUM will be assigned the three batch job numbers, referred to as a BID numbers which identify the compilation of the three corresponding programs (PGM1, PGM2, PGM3). These numbers may be used later for cancelling the job or for obtaining the job status.
