Tectia client-side applications can be executed from JCL with BPXBATCH, BPXBATSL, or oshell. scpg3 uses the same syntax for interactive and non-interactive file transfers. sftpg3 has a batch mode for non-interactive file transfers.

Sample JCL for running clients in batch are provided in the SSZ.SRVR648.SAMPLIB data set. When running the clients under JCL, STDENV must point to SSHENV in the JCL (see Environment Variables) to ensure that the necessary environment variables are set.
