In today's fast-paced IT landscape, Job Control Language (JCL) remains a cornerstone of mainframe operations, ensuring seamless execution of batch processing. However, many organizations fail to recognize JCL as a strategic asset to drive efficiency, reduce operational risks and enhance standardization. 

Join SEA on March 26th for an insightful webinar as we explore how JCL, when managed effectively, provides long-term value to enterprises. We’ll discuss the importance of standardization in JCL to improve maintainability, reduce errors and enhance compliance. Additionally, we will examine the role of programmatic changes in modernizing JCL environments, making them more adaptable to evolving business needs. 

Key topics include:

• JCL as an Asset – Understanding the value of JCL beyond job execution 
• Standardization Strategies – Best practices for consistency, efficiency and compliance 
• Automated JCL Modification – Simplifying environment migration and JCL deployment processes 

Whether you're a system programmer, operations specialist or IT leader, register today to learn actionable insights that maximize the potential of JCL in your organization.
