Hi. I made a Rexx for a porting from one z/os to another some year ago and I've separated each piece of jcl to manipulate and reconstruct a new jcl with new rule because in old installation we had both procs/proc-pend and standard jcl and in the new installation we had to convert all in PROC format and separate main jcl from proc ( 3k object, procs, source, instream data etc). With that Rexx and all component divided I found a way to compact each recursive process(steps) to make centralized proc.
It's complicated but it works and needs to be checked i.e. for scheduler variables that are not always stored in jcl(like dcb information, gdg limit and so on...) At the end it produce an excel with old form and new form(for syntax and naming convention) It was a great job... :-) except for LE and DFSORT defaults that were different... For that experience I can say that the best is working with rexx and smf to do what you need, not jes 3(imo, cause I don't know well).
