AI explanation

JCL (Job Control Language) is built from three fundamental statement types: the JOB statement (identifies the job and its accounting/priority info), the EXEC statement (specifies the program or procedure to run), and the DD (Data Definition) statement (defines the datasets/resources used). Together these three statement types describe everything needed to submit and run a batch job on a mainframe.
