Hi,
You can use the concept of Dynamic JCL in which you can submit a job from online applications. Dynamic JCLs can be very well submitted by the PROCESS statement in natural.

Otherwise if the JCL is already present then may be storing the data in a temporary ddm and then reading it can serve the purpose.

Or you can write your records in a flat file and later then can pass the data to your JCL by using a REXX exec or so.

But i think the concept of dynamic JCL will serve your purpose (if the job is needed to be submitted from an online user)

If any one can suggest some other ways then please do share.
