Job Control Language (JCL)
Programming Languages
Job Control Language (JCL) is a scripting language used on IBM mainframe operating systems, such as z/OS, to instruct the system on how to run a batch job, including which programs to execute, what datasets to use, and resource allocation. It is used primarily by mainframe systems programmers and operators in industries like banking and insurance that still rely on legacy mainframe infrastructure. JCL scripts define job steps, and the syntax dates back to the 1960s with the introduction of OS/360.
