Submitting JCL via the Internal Reader

The internal reader is a logical device similar to a card reader that lets you submit JCL jobs via JES.

To submit JCL via the internal reader from a CICS application executing in Enterprise Server, you need to:

  1. Create a CICS Resource Group and a DCT entry
    and add them to the appropriate startup list.
  2. Create a CICS Application
    that writes the JCL to a transient data queue.
  3. Create a TN3270 Listener
    Explains why the task should be performed and what it accomplishes. Written as complete sentence. Contains no more than two sentences.
  4. Run the Application
    to submit the JCL.
