Associating job statements with operations

The main purpose of HCL Workload Automation for Z is to start work according to a predefined schedule, the current plan. The current plan is produced from information in the HCL Workload Automation for Z database and LTP. Before HCL Workload Automation for Z can submit a job or start a started task, it must have job statements (JCL in the case of the z/OS® operating system). HCL Workload Automation for Z offers some powerful facilities for tailoring JCL (or the equivalent for other operating systems) to fit each run of your operations.
