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.
