Submitting JCL Jobs over Secure Shell
Secure Shell can also be used to run JCL jobs remotely. For that an REXX
script, submit.rexx (shown below), is needed on the Unix System
Services. The script is used to submit the date received from the Secure
Shell connection to MVS.
/* rexx */
/* SUBMIT */
/* */
/* Contributed by a valued customer who prefers to remain anonymous.*/
/* */
/* This script takes jcl and other batch job in stream input */
/* as standard input, including via pipe or here script */
/* and submits job to mvs */
/* */
address mvs "execio * DISKR STDIN (stem JOB. "
/* */
/* submit MVS job */
say SUBMIT(JOB.)
exit

Example 1: JCL written on Unix host is submitted over Secure Shell.
Copy the submit.rexx script, for example, to
/usr/local/bin. The script can be found from the
/usr/lpp/ssh2/doc/zOS/samples directory.
cp /usr/lpp/ssh2/doc/zOS/samples/submit.rexx /usr/local/bin/
Launch the Secure Shell connection from the Unix client using the JCL file
as standard input.
$ sshg3 username@mf_server /usr/local/bin/submit.rexx < /tmp/my_jcl
