Syntax check

[ksatyana1]

Hi,
In my earlier projects I worked for having XJEM / PREP to check the JCL without running JCL with TYPERUN=SCAN. My current shop dont have any of this, I tried with all the commands which was posted in the IBM JCL forumn [XJEM/JSCAN/JEM/VER/VES/JCLCK/PREP/JCLPREP/EJCK NOLIST/!JCK/VALJCL/JJ] but nothing is working.

Is this XJEM / PREP is a tool needs to be bought from IBM / is it a rexx program which I can set? Please let me know, those commands were really helping & saying most of my time.

Thanks
Kota

I see that there are at least three different third-party tools for JCL Syntax Checking:

Unicenter CA-JCLCheck from CA.

XREFPlus from Seasoft.

ASG JCLPREP from ASG.
