Generally, There are 2 type of copybooks.
Data division copy book
These copybooks are usually used to represent the
structure of the file or variables used in Cobol. Say if
there are any changes in the layout of copybook. make sure
the length specified in JCL LRECL is appropriate.
Procedure division Copybook.
These copybooks will have some cobol stmts coded in them.
For this copybooks there can be no changes in JCL.

Answer / muttiah
The only change would be to make sure the program is
compiled and link-edited, so as to get the changes
reflected in the load module you specify in the JCL.

Answer / yashwant
If that copybook represents some data set in JCL and we are going to modify(changing length of any variable) the copybook and we are going to write some records in that dataset than we should have to modify the Logical record length(LRECL)of that dataset in JCL

We can use PASS with permanent datasets also. THEN Which is the condition in which we may use PASS (instead of KEEP) with permanent data sets, while there is no need to specify UNIT and VOL for them like temporary data sets (in cas we use KEEP for permanent data sets) ?

i have 10 steps in my jcl. -->if i want to execute my program from 5th step what i have to do? don't give //* in ur previous steps --> if i want to execute my program from 1to 5 steps only what i have to do?
Why we us SYSTSIN DD with IKJEFT01 (TSO Utility) to execute a COBOL DB2 program? Why can't we use SYSIN DD?
why jobstep can't be more than 255 and for GDG has max limit 255 . Is there any relation between the two
