Validating Input SCL

You can check the syntax of your SCL statements before submitting them for execution by using an optional parameter of VALIDATE on the JCL PARM statement. When you specify the VALIDATE parameter, the statements in the ENPSCLIN DD statement are parsed. The statements are not executed. To specify the VALIDATE parameter, change the PARM= statement on the sample JCL to PARM='ENBP1000VALIDATE'.
