Jol makes Z/OS Mainframes Easy to Use

Fujitsu sold Jol with it's MVS equivalent computers. IBM wanted to, too.

Now a new version is available to make it easier to operate your mainframe computer. New helpful panels have been added to help you allocate, copy and otherwise manipulate files. See Data Set Operations Centralised . And more here: Using Jol

Jol makes Z/OS Mainframes about as easy to use as Windows or Linux computers. It offers many unique features solving many common JCL limitations.

Jol is a Command or Scripting Language originally designed specifically for IBM Mainframes using MVS.

Nowadays it runs on Z/OS, MVS, Windows and OS/2. Linux and VSE versions are just around the corner.
