>is JCL really all that bad? I've never considered it bad. I started in this business as a JCL jockey in production support, long before the CONTROL/M's, CA7's, UCC7's, and JCLCHEK's of the world came into play. So, I'm used to it. And, the 'new' stuff that started with ESA just makes it easier. But, I still copy somebody's working JCL.
And, I DO NOT consider it a programming language (nor do I consider SQL one); neither of them have the word programmin in them. But, they have the word language in them; that is not bad/wrong. When in doubt.
