What have you tried so far and what were the results ?

Are You sure that a " do it Yourself solution" is what Your company wants/needs ?

Analyzing jcl is not a simple task, yes there are a few parsers around,
but still the data organization and archiving is on You.
( just one issue... what about procs with overrides??? )

for a long term solution a program product might be a better solution
expecially since jcl is prone to additions and enhancements

a google search on "JCL CROSS REFERENCE TOOL" will give You pointers to program products,
and an idea of what a jcl cross referencing tool might be able to do for Your organization.

It can be done in Rexx but...

JCLCheck comes with a REXX user-exit that will do exactly what you need.
