Align JCL

Overview

This Rexx tool can be used for formatting and alignment of the JCL statements to follow JCL
coding standards. (I.e. to align the 'JOB','DD' and 'EXEC' statement in 10th column). The tool can be
executed by the line command ‘TSO JCLALIGN’. It gets the location of the JCL in the format of
‘PDS(MEM)' and aligns the JCL statement according to the JCL coding rules

Tool to align JCL statements

Objective of the tool

 This Rexx tool can be used for formatting and alignment of the JCL statements to follow JCL
coding standards

Procedure to use the tool

 The below screen shots explain the usage of the tool

 Below screen shows the JCL statements before execution of the tool
 This Rexx tool can be executed by the line command ‘TSO JCLALIGN’

 This will ask for the PDS and member name where the JCL is present
 The tool will align the JCL statement according to the JCL coding rules
 The below screen shot shows the JCL after alignment
