The '''Job File Table''' (JFT) is a [[DOS]] data structure in the [[Program Segment Prefix]] (PSP). It starts at PSP offset 0x18 and is 20 bytes long. For each open file handle, [[DOS]] stores the index into the [[System File Table]] (SFT). A file handle that is returned by open, _open and other similar functions is simply an index into the JFT where [[DOS]] stored the SFT entry index for the file or device that the program opened.
