COBOL, PL1, and C/C== have the capability of writing JCL by reading the catalog (at worst an IDCAMS listing) emitting the appropriate JOB and EXEC images and using the data set names to create the input DD cards. The actual selection and extraction program should be written in the higher level (COBOL, PL1, C/C++) language for which record descriptions for the data on the files exist (I would hope in 2020 that it isn't assembler only). Having written programs to deal with the SMF30 records with variable position keys and extract CALL and COPY information from COBOL and DYL280 (now Vision Results) programs, I find it hard to believe that you are faced with a difficult task. If the language is COBOL, I have written code in COBOL to handle bit switches (snitched from a posting on comp.software.year-2000) and reference modification is simple.
