Job Control Language (JCL) is a scripting language used on IBM mainframe operating systems to instruct the systems on how to run a batch job or start a subsystem. The use of JCL involves the specification of job parameters through the JOB, EXEC, and DD statements to manage input, processing, and output tasks in a structured manner.
