>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.
PANIC!!
