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).

If a field is declared as a comp-3 field and if we want to sort a dataset based on this field, then how will the sort card be??? e.g- if we want to sort by a field which is defined as a PIC X(5) then we will mention - sort fields=(1,5,ch,a). Likewise if a field is defined as PIC S9(10)COMP-3 then in this case how will the sort field be defined (because in this case a sign is also involved)???
