Hi Tim,
I was going to make this a private message to you, but others may
get something beneficial from this.
As some of you may know, my intention has been to make a Universal,
common use anywhere command language.
Thus far I have achieved the following versions: MVS (IBM), MSP
(Fujitsu), FSP/XSP (Fujitsu), OS/2 (IBM), Windows (Microsoft).
Over the last year, I have developed an alpha VSE version and about
99% of a Linux (and hopefully USS or OMVS) version too.
As part of that process, I and others have developed some
translators to translate MVS style JCL, VSE JCL, and FSP JCL to Jol.
For the Asian market, the FSP JCL converter could be useful as
there are presumably quite a number of Fujitsu FSP or later systems.
By converting the FSP JCL to Jol, it can be run either natively on
FSP/XSP or MVS/Z/OS systems. Or Linux. Or USS. Or VSE, when they
are finished.
I hope that is helpful.
I invite everyone to get involved.

Clement:
My memory is probably incorrect on this but I think Standard Oil did
something like this in the 70's. My memory is really hazy as I only
had a brief exposure to it. I *VAGUELY* remember John ????? sorry I
honestly don't remember his last name was either the architect or
coauthor of the "language". If someone can confirm or scoff this off,
I would be happy either way.
