Hello Roshan,

To write a jcl in cobol progam u have to use display verb in cobol for all the statements of jcl.Here i am giving a sample jcl in cobol for creating a dataset.

IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.

PROGRAM-ID. DSDATE.

ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.

DATA DIVISION.

WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.

PROCEDURE DIVISION.

DISPLAY '//KIRAN1CD JOB (0400,XXX),''KIRAN CH'',CLASS=B,'

DISPLAY '// MSGLEVEL=1,1),NOTIFY=MGPB16,REGION=4M,'

DISPLAY '// MSGCLASS=X'

DISPLAY '//GENER01 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER'

DISPLAY '//SYSIN DD DUMMY'

DISPLAY '//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*'

DISPLAY '//SYSUT1 DD SN=aaa.bbb.ccc,DISP=SHR'

DISPLAY '// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),'

DISPLAY '// SPACE=(TRK,(9,3,1),RLSE),'

DISPLAY '// UNIT=DISK'

DISPLAY '//'.

000-EXIT.

STOP RUN.

Then you compile this program as usual as u compile a cobol program and then run the program using run jcl by adding the following statement in u r run jcl program.

//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR)

In this way u can compile and run any jcl using cobol.
Let me know whether u can or not?

Thanks,
Vrch

Hi All,

Adding to above reply.

INTRDR : whatever the statements written in internal reader will be submitted.

to be more cleare the statements used in display statement will be written to INTRDR as SYSOUT is directing to INTRDR and all the statements are submitted.

any issues please let me know.
