Wow, never thought I'd see that again in my lifetime :)
It's from JCL (Job Control Language) from IBM mainframes,
in short, the "statement" in your subject involved a way
to specify where your "default" input was coming from
(it had/has other attributes you could add to the line to
say more about the file etc). Dunno why it's coming along
here but probably some sort of emulator or something similar.
