JCL continues to be used as the only acceptable way of submitting programs to JES internal readers. Even UNIX System Services under OS/390 and z/OS contains daemons that are controlled and monitored by JCL procedures (i.e started tasks) executing within address spaces created by submitting JCL to an internal reader!
I'm on the s390 tech side as well, and I'm not AC, _and_ you're wrong. z900 processors, and perhaps earlier ones as well, have processors that lie dormant. Pay extra money to IBM and they will provide authorization codes to "turn on" that extra hardware.
A project currently underway with my employers is to take data from a web input form and use it in a batch program on the mainframe. The web server runs under UNIX System Services. Java applications have been written to parse the input data, reformat it, and to pass that data to the OS/390 batch JCL.
I don't know a whole lot about the Java side of things -- I'm responsible for the UNIX System Services and OS/390 system environment.
I guess what I'm saying is I don't seem to have this blood loss problem.
You are correct. SYSIN is not used for program dumps. Those DD statements are generally SYSUDUMP or SYSMDUMP depending on whether you want a formatted or machine dump. SYSIN is used for specifying data input parameters.
The '//SYSIN DD *' flags the following lines as "in-stream" control statements. These control statements provide the ability to modify the default execution of the program as called on the previous EXEC statement.
It's been less than six hours since I've fscked around with JCL:)
Tape mounting was my first job outta college. I started as a contractor to EDS doing this very thing. And I loved it, surprisingly. I learned a ton about the enterprise systems business in a short period of time. I worked many different kinds of shifts and used all sorts of different hardware. I was never bored because of fixing all the different problems that invariably crop up when working with tape media. I have very fond memories of my early years as a tape operator. Guess some people can make lemonade when handed lemons.

An IML would reload _all_ partitions on that box. An IPL would reload only the partition in question. He probably meant just what he said.

Okay, I did.
RJE stands for Remote Job Entry and is described here.

As the Apple Turns noted yesterday that yesterday's announcement was pulled until today, presumably to match nVIDIA's own announcement.
