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 <code>open</code>, <code>_open</code>, 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.

As of MS-DOS 3.30, the size of the JFT can be modified with a call to <code>INT 21h, 67h</code>.
