No sane person would seriously advocate the "demise" of JCL. All the
slings & arrows it's suffered here lately are just the motivation for
trying alternatives; or for some proposed enhancements. The continued
existence and use of JCL (moot anyway) is no impediment to the alternatives.

What 'problem' with JCL is fixed by replacing it with REXX?
REXX doesn't have a limit of 255 steps in a job, and that limit may be reached
when doing regression tests. It also allows loops. Example I have is too long to
post here (probably).
Rexx is available. If Rexx meets your needs, then simply use Rexx.
But why clamor, apparently for the demise of JCL?
