You can submit JCL from a CICS application, using the Micro Focus emulation of the IBM External Writer, INTRDR.
Note: In Micro Focus documentation, an external writer is more accurately referred to as an internal reader when in a JCL context.
In order to submit JCL from a CICS application running in an enterprise server, you need to:
- Create some CICS resources in a new group and add them to the CICS application's startup list.
- Create a CICS application that writes the JCL to a transient data queue, or modify an existing application.
- Create a TN3270 listener for CICS applications, if you don't already have one.
