Mitch, I think you have made clear that IBM (and I will add other vendors) have products that can be used to help mask the complexity of JCL as well as provide other functions (e.g, standards enforcement, etc.).
However the purpose of my question is to elicit what people would like to see done to eliminate the complexity of JCL as well as provide new capabilities that do not exist in JCL (as we know it today). I would invite you to follow (and contribute to, as you see fit) the new thread I have started (Subject: JCL - What is it and what could it be ?), I intend to use that thread to consolidate the discussion.
