Having the ability to check the JCL is important, but even more so is the ability to ensure the JCL is accurate, efficient, well coded and documented and has the ability to interface with change management tools (i.e., Endevor, ChangeMan, etc),batch schedulers and rerun/restart requirements. In addition, the ability to not only format the JCL for appearance and requirements/ or prevention of any and all JCL and site specific requirements, automatically, will easily reduce effort, cost, performance and maintenance overhead. I have been in the JCL management arena since the early 80s, when JCLCHECK was the king. A lot has changed since then!

Has anybody heard whether Broadcom will be raising the price of JCLCheck? I used it many years ago and liked it but haven't had access to a commercial JCL checker in well over 20 years.
