RUNJCL is a REXX Edit macro that will submit a job for processing from a partitioned dataset. It will use a dataset name that is saved in a users TSO profile as RUNDSN. This dataset name can be changed at any time by invoking RUNJCL with a slash (/) as the second option.

RUNJCL uses some ISPF panels. These are not required but are desirable. They can be found here

RUNJCL can also edit the job before it is submitted using the EDIT keyword i.e.

RUNJCL FRED EDIT

You can also submit a job from a dataset other than the user specified default by invoking RUNJCL using the desired dataset as a parameter i.e.

RUNJCL 'SOME.OTHER.DATASET(FRED)'

If you invoke RUNJCL with the slash(/) option the following screen will be displayed.
