Not when one reduces the JCL to the actual 'control' statements, much as I
reduced the COBOL down to the guts of the PROCEDURE DIVISION... but even
if it were the JCL would be part of a larger stream which has to be
submitted to Prod so there'd be no overall change, as opposed to making
another program and having to go through the documentation necessary to
include and maintain it.
