hi iam learning mainframes,can anybody tell me how to check
JCL errors.(after submiting the JCL we have check in spool
or is there any other method)

Answer Posted / sukku

TO check JCL errors generally we go with spool only..That
is th eonly way and there is no other way...

But if want to check ur JCl's syntax errors ,you can do
with TYPE RUN=SCAN parameter..If u use this ,the job
doesnot sumbits to the operating sytem and more over it
gives the error messages...

Ideally speaking it is the best practice to check JcL erros
before sumitting the job...
