Z/OS JCL in the Batch Runtime Environment

Introduction to z/OS JCL in the Batch Runtime Environment

This section describes how to find equivalents for z/OS JCL cards in the target environment. Some of these equivalents point to the Batch Runtime functions, other equivalents may rely directly on UNIX or Tuxedo features. In some cases, there may be no equivalent and a work-around solution may be necessary.

It is not the purpose of this document to describe z/OS JCL, for any explanation of JCL statements, please see the z/OS Internet Library.
