Hello, this is my first post

I developed an Excel macro that lets you "draw" the JCL.

This utility performs a lexicographical analysis of JCL and displays the files used, the GDG's, the various procedures, ...

I'm working in a multilingual version, I'll update if you find it interesting.

Thanks in advance

I don't want to be negative (but I am nevertheless), but who do you think is going to use an Excel file that may potentially contain all kinds of malware? Remember RSA and SecureID... Not to mention that Excel is an expensive program from a convicted monopolist which is now trying to hide its imminent death by forcing computer manufacturers to exclude all other OS'es?

Yes, macro for excel are potentially dangerous, but... you are free to try it or not
