2.3.3.3.3 Generation Control Language

A series of action statements, called the Generation Control
Language (GCL), is provided to increase the flexibility and
maintainability of the Prototype Library members.  The
language consists of a number of statements which may be
coded within the members of the Prototype Library and which
are acted upon by the JCL generation process to perform
conditional generation.  Refer to Section 2.3.3.3, "JCLGEN
Parameters for Special Requirements", for a discussion of the
logic of the CA MICS JCLGEN process.

The GCL language and the symbolic variables it supports are
described in the following sections:

    1 - Generation Control Language Variables
    2 - Generation Control Language Syntax
    3 - Using the Generation Control Language
