Hello all,

There is another Stupid Question Raised by the Interviewer
that " HOW MANY TYPES OF JCLS ARE THERE? "

I think this is meaning less, i stick on my Answer while interviewing,
Suggest me whether i was wrong or He is ?

Thanks, for all your Valuable Suggestions.

Yes, I agree, a stupid and pointless question.

Could you possibly share who this person was with the forum members? I'd like to call them and tell them what I think of that question. At the very least, I'd file a formal complaint to their manager.
