Hi Ajay,

You can type JSCN or JEM command on the command line after typing the jcl in the member.It will show you all the syntax errors.

Hi,
Use JCLPREP. Open the JCL in the PDS and write prep in the command line and press enter. It will show you all the syntax error.

If you have not JEM, JSCAN etc. Submit the job within the jobcard: //jobname job .....,TYPRUN=SCAN
and look the sysout in SDSF.

hi ajay,
In TSO go for option 26: Jobscan, next option 1 - Validate JCL. then provide Path of JCL and PROC for scan and type F in the command prompt to start scanning the JCL for errors.

I think that option 26 is customized...
i.e. In my environment it does not exist.
