I wish that IBM could totally replace JCL. Or come up with something
better. But, I have a feeling that few, if any, would use it unless it had
restart capabilities at least as good as CA-11. Take away CA-11 from
product support, and there would be blood running thick in the streets.

That's why REXX cannot replace JCL.
