What is JCL?

JCL (Job Control Language) is a scripting language used on IBM mainframe operating systems (z/OS). It's used to tell the system what programs to run, what data to use, and what resources are needed for a job. It essentially acts as a set of instructions to the mainframe operating system for batch processing and system management. It is used to start programs, allocate datasets, schedule tasks, and control the execution flow of applications.
