Hi i would say - as long as you can produce the data there can be an unlimited number of jobcards in the jcl - as large as the dataset can be . Taking a 4GB Dataset with 80 byte records , you may have more then 50 Million jobcards in this single JCL-Dataset.
Oh - sorry - he wants to submit this also ? this is a different story and depends f.E on your Spool size and a lot of other parameters in JES as also in the system - you need storage in the system to handle the submit . Most important one is your Jobnumber - when you limit it to 32k - there can be only 32k Jobs in your system. If you have Jobnumbers with 5 digits - you may have 99999 jobs . If the person submits his "JCL" - every Jobcard will have a new number . HTH Frank Krueger Donnerstag, 29.

Hi all, Here in my office there is a crazy DB2 admin who asks me every day the same question. Instead of saying a good morning to me, he always asks me: What is the max number of job cards in a JCL? Please, what is the answer to the above question? I want to stop this guy bugging me every morning...
