Jol's facilities and savings have an immediate, positive impact on all
areas of the data processing environment. Management,
development, operations, scheduling and software, and functional areas
realize that immediate benefit. Jol does not require any
overnight conversion as JCL and Jol jobs can co-exist.
Installation is rapid, and thorough training only requires three days.
The Jol manuals demonstrate both the power and simplicity of Jol
commands. The characteristics of the language and the reasoning
behind its structure are also described.
Other Introductory documentation includes the Jol
Answers to Questions,
the Jol Concepts
and Facilities Manual and
the General
Information
Manual. The Concepts and Facilities
Manual contains discussions
on using Jol definitions, instructions and macros, and illustrates the
way in which Jol allows the natural expression of commands in an
English-like manner. Also exemplified is the highly effective use
of Jol's concise, brief commands.
The Jol Concepts
and Facilities Manual also introduces examples of Jol
applied to practical job control functions. The Automatic
Scheduling section discusses the adaptation of Jol in another
practical
manner to encompass an area of responsibility not usually considered
within job control facilities. A section on additional facilities
expands these ideas to show Jol's flexibility and capability in
adapting to a variety of facilities previously not available.
Some of these include: Language extension through Jol macro commands,
compile time facilities, symbolic variables, generation data groups and
automatic restart.
Further supplemental materials are available which document Jol's cost
effectiveness. Case studies, evaluation reports and user
documentation easily provide specific evidence of Jol's claims to 67%
reduction in manpower requirements over conventional JCL. Other
functions and capabilities, like automatic restart and programmed
application schedules, are more difficult to evaluate in terms of time
or dollar savings and are considered as having the greatest merit by
many existing Jol Installations.
