Job Control Language Syntax Checking

An accurate syntax checker is your first key to successful JCL management. A one-character syntax error, a missing dataset, or an incorrect keyword can cost hours of lost production time. plusPack prevents these errors with its state-of-the art, easy-to-use syntax checking and validation.

Job Control Language Standards Enforcement

Tightly enforced standards in JCL coding practices, naming conventions, as well as resource utilization and allocation increase productivity by improving reliability and reducing outages. JCLplus facilitates defining and enforcing JCL standards with its intuitive rules language. Violations of in-house standards can be virtually eliminated.

Job Control Language Editing and Updating

In the dynamic environment of an enterprise data center, being able to respond quickly and effectively to change is critical. New operating systems, additional devices, software updates and merged environments due to corporate acquisitions are just some of the factors that necessitate Job Control Language modifications. JCLplus facilitates making these updates to your JCL across the entire enterprise. It not only ensures that changes and mods are applied correctly; it also optionally validates the accuracy of these updates all in a single operation.

Job Control Language Formatting

Clearly and consistently formatted JCL is critical to being able to spot errors and omissions that, if left undetected, could be costly. Well formatted JCL also allows you to understand your JOBs and PROCs at a glance for increased productivity. JCLplus automatically reformats your JCL to your own specifications. An entire library of JCL can be quickly and easily reformatted eliminating numerous hours of error-prone hand coding.

Job Scheduling

To meet critical batch-window requirements, modern data centers employ job schedulers that often add yet another level of complexity to JCL management. Systems like OPC, Control-M, and others allow your JCL to contain intricate strings of proprietary or non-standard variables and directives that are typically resolved at job submission time. JCLplus supports a wide range of these systems. By resolving job scheduler symbolics and directives before syntax checking and validation, JCLplus not only detects improperly specified variables and directives; it also ensures that the JCL is error free and meets your requirements.

TMS, Security, DASD and Change Management

The infrastructure of an enterprise data center embodies an intricate network of system components such as tape, security, DASD, and change management systems. JCLplus is engineered to support and interface with all widely used packages that may in any way impact your JCL.
