- On occasion we must do mass changes of JCL. We're under VM, too, so I
- suspect that your JCL is kept on one or more minidisks under CMS.
- We write a specific EXEC to read the old file and produce the new one,
- and run the EXEC against all of the files by first doing a
- LISTFILE * * A ( EXEC to produce the CMS EXEC A file, and then run it
- specifying our customized exec, by typing CMS JCLCVRT (or whatever the
- name of your convert exec is). This saves having to manually repeat
- the exec invocation for every JCL file.
