# SmartJCL Discussions

SmartJCL is a cost-effective Job Control Language (JCL) checker. It helps organizations identify errors in new or modified JCL before applications are handed over to production. SmartJCL analyzes JCL and all relevant components, including procedures, symbolic parameters, utility statements, DASD and UNIT availability, dataset availability, and scheduler variables. It helps reduce typical JCL errors such as syntax errors, missing files, programs, and procedures, as well as errors caused by incorrect scheduler variables. The solution provides interfaces to Control-M, IBM Workload Scheduler (IWS) for z/OS, and REXX. SmartJCL can check complex job streams in the planned production sequence and simulate catalog actions to identify potential conflicts before production.
