Answer: You can't.

If you run a job with JCL, you're executing a program. In the case of "passing data to DB2," then the program in question would be a DB2 program.

If it was asked by an interviewer why is this not in the Interview Questions section?

And you need to understand what JCL is/does (and possibly the interviewer needs to do the same!) - JCL just tells the OS what programs to run and in what sequence and what resources those programs need. And also, through condition codes, whether to bypass the execution of a program.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

We can pass data to DB2 using JCL load utilities like DSNUTILB , HP32 etc.

As suggested by others it can be used to run a COBOL - DB2 program as well which updates DB2.

IOW, it is as MrH and NicC said; it can't be done without executing a program.
