Sure - the TSO SUBMIT command Dynallocs an internal reader, opens it (using the VSAM-like ACB/RPL interface), copies records into it from your dataset or edit session, endreqs and closes it. At that point your dataset is no longer in the picture. Some time later, JES gets the submitted JCL over to the converter, which may read INCLUDE members and such. BTW, that "submitted job JOB12345" message is based on information obtained from the ENDREQ. At that point you know that the JES has got the thing, or it's failed badly (e.g. no jobcard).
