Question

Accepted Answer

The scripting language used on IBM mainframe operating systems is JCL (Job Control Language).

JCL is used to define and control the execution of jobs on the mainframe.
It is a set of statements that specify the input, processing, and output requirements of a job.
JCL is used to submit batch jobs, which are sequences of programs and data that are processed without user interaction.
JCL statements are written in a specific format and are executed by the Job Entry Subsystem (JES).
