Summary -
This page describes audiences, objectives,
prerequisites, and the topics covered as
part of the tutorial.
Introduction -
JCL (Job Control Language) is a
programming language used on IBM
mainframe operating systems. It is a
language with a set of predefined
instructions that are used by the JOB
ENTRY SUBSYSTEM (JES2 or JES3) to
instruct the system on how to run a batch
job or start a subsystem.
Objective and Audiences -
The objective of this tutorial is to support
mainframe developers when they need the
most.
We have covered the tutorial with a
complete list of topics that almost covers
99% of JCL. This tutorial helps to improve
your technical expertise in JCL coding.
The tutorial is for anyone who can be a
student, a fresher, a software engineer, a
mainframe developer, an expert or anyone
who is trying to learn JCL on Mainframe or
JCL alone.
In this tutorial, all the topics are covered
with in-depth information that includes
examples and useful to improve your JCL
programming skills.
Prerequisites -
There are no prerequisites to learn the JCL.
Having a computation background will be
an advantage in understanding the
concepts a bit easier. Without a
computation background, it is a bit time-
consuming to understand the concepts,
and you need to go through the topic more
than once to understand clearly.
If you are trying to learn Mainframe JCL,
having a mainframe id handy helps to
practice the concepts immediately.
However, mainframe id is not mandatory to
learn the JCL and we have covered all
concepts with full of examples.
