Need to submit JCL through panel (pass paramater)

My requirement is that I need to create a panel where I can enter information like the name of JCL and the location and few more parameters.

After I press enter, in the background the jcl should get submitted but before that the jcl should get modified by the parameters I will give in the panel.

Also there should an option on the panel (like EDIT JCL ___ Y/N). This for if the JCL needs to be manually modified.

I tried submitting a job using command "SUBMIT '<Dsn name>'", where I gave the location & name of my JCL in the DSN name. But it is throwing errors.

Also I have searched the forum but did not get what I am looking for.

Perhaps read in the JCL to a workfile which can be processed by EDIT MACRO to make the substitutions. Then, if EDIT_JCL = 'Y' invoke EDIT so the user can modify directly. Next, invoke another EDIT MACRO to SUBMIT.

Or read about ISPF File Tailoring Services - which was developed to do exactly what you want.
