No.. A JCL is needed is submit a Cobol Batch program..

Answer / sivakumar sekharannair

Batch programs are those are invoked by a language called
JCL. It can be executed either manually by submitting the
JCL or by a scheduler which has the particular JCL in it.
Manually submitted by user submitting the job.
Scheduler submission can be either time trigger or dataset
trigger.
If given a particular time, the scheduler trigers the job
in that particular time
Or
when the particular dataset is available in the mainframe
(should be cataloged and available)the job is triggered.

Never ever the batch job can run without a jcl

Answer / rishab

You need to compile your program.

Once the load module is generated you can use tso command:

TSO CALL 'abc.pqr.xyz(progA)'

Here abc.pqr.xyz is your load module
and progA is your program name (best practice to have your
program member name same as your program-id).

Please go thru the below points and let me know how to code this. 1. Sort the input dataset for the condition : Starting position is 37,length of the field is 13 based on character and in the ascending order , starting from position 25 length of 12 ,character and in the ascending order. Use a temporary dataset to hold the sorted file. 2. Use the temporary file created in the above step as the input for the next step. The next step is to execute a program and produce an output file. Use the temporary file created in the above as work file 1 and the output of the file to be created in this step work file 2.Also, pass a parameter to the program that is to be executed in this step. The parameter should have the current date in YYYYMMDD format. For the sake of convenience, you can use the below Job Name : Sample1 Input DSN : PCABDT11.CABD.TEST.INPUT Temporary DSN : Sort1 Output DSN : PCABDT11.CABD.TEST.OUTPUT Program Name : SAMPLE Thanks in Advance for your response.
