Many production jobs fail due to minor JCL errors. The root of that

Agreed. Usually caused by "finger checks".
Which is why I wrote Jol decades ago, to solve the "JCL Problem". It
was used for decades by most of the mainframe sites in Australia, and
Amoco in the USA. It is still available and stops most JCL errors.
You can learn more about it here: http://www.ozemail.com.au/~oscarptyltd

There is now a version that runs on Windows, which makes JCL to run on
the mainframe.
What would it take for everyone to use it?
Cheers,
Clement Clarke
