Thanks, Andrew, for the JCL-to-XML utility, I plan to try it out "soon" .
Maybe this is an opportunity to bring up something I've been thinking about in regard to JCL and XML. I've been thinking that it would be good to define a standardized XML syntax (and possibly schema) for jobs and also things such as the "processes" used in the scheduler that we use here, which contain one or more scheduled tasks. If SHARE or another dedicated group of people worked at it, we might be able to come up with a standard way of representing the work, which could be imported and exported from the various schedulers through XSLT transforms. XSLT could also be used to create various representations of the work for reports and such; I'm sure there are other uses. Who knows, maybe even a JES2 reader using XSLT to transform from XML to the standardized JCL format prior to conversion.
