I have copied the source code for Jol up to the www.Oscar-Jol.com website. IBM examined and approved the code many years ago. Jol effectively replaces the JCL interpretor and quite a lot of the initiator when using Dynamic Allocation instead of JCL.  It is part compiler with PL/I style syntax,

While I really wish IBM really would have some better examples than what is in SAMPLIB and SHASSRCE, you really can learn most of what you will need from manuals and the rest of it is (unfortunately for me) trial and error. When you are developing Systems programming code, if you son'e have an
